Dictyostelium Anatomy Ontology (RRID:SCR_005929) | controlled vocabulary, data or information resource, ontology | An ontology to describe Dictyostelium where the structural makeup of Dictyostelium and its composing parts including the different cell types, throughout its life cycle is defined. There are two main goals for this new tool: (1) promote the consistent annotation of Dictyostelium-specific events, such as phenotypes (already in use), and in the future, of gene expression information; and (2) encourage researchers to use the same terms with the same intended meaning. To this end, all terms are defined. The complete ontology can be browsed using EBI''s ontology browser tool.
