Bird phenotypes
matentzn opened this issue · comments
In todays call we decided tentatively to add bird phenotypes directly to uPheno.
I was also recommended to check out these resources and possibly reach out to @caripark who has some experience dealing with bird traits.

- https://b10k.genomics.cn/
- Animal QTL database - chicken traits
@ImkeTammen will provide us with a list of bird phenotypes we will use as a seed for the project.
Sorry forgot to add that here to the ticket that these are of course coordinated, like everything else!

But your comment about lattices - I don't get it in this context. Bird phenotypes is the exact same as any other phenotype ontology problem! The lattice wont be any more or less ragged!
Our general approach has been to try and be more conservative on the PATO side - we only in the end use a handful of PATO terms (less than 100!) which cover most of the more generally useful phenotypes. In any case, thanks for mentioning this again, we will keep an eye on this!
