Mixin Usage

mixed into description
NucleicAcidEntity A nucleic acid entity is a molecular entity characterized by availability in gene databases of nucleotide-based sequence representations of its precise sequence; for convenience of representation, partial sequences of various kinds are included.
RegulatoryRegion A region (or regions) of the genome that contains known or putative regulatory elements that act in cis- or trans- to affect the transcription of gene
AccessibleDnaRegion A region (or regions) of a chromatinized genome that has been measured to be more accessible to an enzyme such as DNase-I or Tn5 Transpose
TranscriptionFactorBindingSite A region (or regions) of the genome that contains a region of DNA known or predicted to bind a protein that modulates gene transcription
Gene A region (or regions) that includes all of the sequence elements necessary to encode a functional transcript. A gene locus may include regulatory regions, transcribed regions and/or other functional sequence regions.
NucleosomeModification A chemical modification of a histone protein within a nucleosome octomer or a substitution of a histone with a variant histone isoform. e.g. Histone 4 Lysine 20 methylation (H4K20me), histone variant H2AZ substituting H2A.
Genome A genome is the sum of genetic material within a cell or virion.
CodingSequence None
Genotype An information content entity that describes a genome by specifying the total variation in genomic sequence and/or gene expression, relative to some established background
Haplotype A set of zero or more Alleles on a single instance of a Sequence[VMC]
SequenceVariant A sequence_variant is a non exact copy of a sequence_feature or genome exhibiting one or more sequence_alteration.
ReagentTargetedGene A gene altered in its expression level in the context of some experiment as a result of being targeted by gene-knockdown reagent(s) such as a morpholino or RNAi.
GenomicBackgroundExposure A genomic background exposure is where an individual's specific genomic background of genes, sequence variants or other pre-existing genomic conditions constitute a kind of 'exposure' to the organism, leading to or influencing an outcome.
