Attributes

Own

• ChromosomePart➞id _1..1
  • Range: String
• band_descriptor _0..1
  • Description: A string representing a chromosome band, e.g. p31.1. This is local to the chromosome, so the chromosome is not included in the descriptor
  • Range: BandDescriptor
• chromosome_name _0..1
  • Description: E.g. chr1, chrM. Some species like C elegans may use roman numerals
  • Range: ChromosomeNameType
• build _0..1
  • Description: A descriptor for the genome and build number. E.g hg38
  • Range: GenomeBuild
• name _0..1
  • Description: Unique human-readable label for the entity
  • Range: LabelType
• type _0..1
  • Range: EntityType
• somal_type _0..1
  • Description: indicates whether this is a sex-chromosome or not
  • Range: AutosomeVsSexChromosome
• sex_chromosome_type _0..1
  • Description: Only populated for sex chromosomes. Indicates the chromosome type. This is X or Y in mammals, W or Z in avians
  • Range: SexChromosomeType
• cell_location _0..1
  • Description: which organelle the chromosome is associated with. For eukaryotes this is mitochondrion or nucleus. For prokaryotes the distinction does not make sense
  • Range: LocationType
• taxon _0..1
  • Description: The taxon to which the chromosome part belongs. Always NCBITaxon.
  • Range: TaxonIdentifier
• start _0..1
  • Description: Start location of the chromosomal part. Note we also include this for whole chromosomes - start will be zero
  • Range: Integer
• end _0..1
  • Description: Start location of the chromosomal part. Note we also include this for whole chromosomes - end will be rightmost point
  • Range: Integer
• children _0..*
  • Description: Direct parts of this chromosome. zero to many.
  • Range: ChromosomePart
• parent _0..1
  • Description: Direct chromosomal part which this is a part of. The partonomy forms a tree so this is always zero or one. Different species have different rules but typically the partonomy will be something like 1p31.1 -> 1p31 -> 1p3 -> 1p -> 1
  • Range: ChromosomePart
• exact_mappings _0..*
  • Description: For a whole chromosome, this may be an assembled sequence in a database such as genbank or ensembl
  • Range: Uriorcurie
• exact_synonyms _0..*
  • Range: String
• broad_synonyms _0..*
  • Range: String
