Annotation of DO Identifiers to their Parents

Description

This data set describes associations between DO terms and their direct parent terms, based on the directed acyclic graph (DAG) defined by the Disease Ontology Consortium. The format is an R object mapping the DO terms to all direct parent terms, where a direct parent term is a more general DO term that immediately precedes the given DO term in the DAG.

Details

Each DO term is mapped to a named vector of DO terms. The name associated with the parent term will be either isa, partof, where isa indicates that the child term is a more specific version of the parent, and partof indicate that the child term is a part of the parent.

Mappings were based on data provided by: Disease Ontology With a date stamp from the source of: 20150323 (sub_version 2806)

Examples

  # Convert the object to a list
  xx <- as.list(DOPARENTS)
  # Remove DO IDs that do not have any parent
  xx <- xx[!is.na(xx)]
  if(length(xx) > 0){
     doids <- xx[[1]]
     # Find out the DO terms for the first parent do ID
     DOID(DOTERM[[doids[1]]])
     Term(DOTERM[[doids[1]]])
     Synonym(DOTERM[[doids[1]]])
     Secondary(DOTERM[[doids[1]]])
  }
