Uses Mixins

• mixin: GeneGroupingMixin - any grouping of multiple genes or gene products
• mixin: ChemicalEntityOrGeneOrGeneProduct - A union of chemical entities and children, and gene or gene product. This mixin is helpful to use when searching across chemical entities that must include genes and their children as chemical entities.

Attributes

Inherited from entity:

• id _1..1
  • Description: A unique identifier for an entity. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI
  • Range: String
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• iri _0..1
  • Description: An IRI for an entity. This is determined by the id using expansion rules.
  • Range: IriType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal,samples)
• category _0..*
  • Description: Name of the high level ontology class in which this entity is categorized. Corresponds to the label for the biolink entity type class.
• In a neo4j database this MAY correspond to the neo4j label tag.
• In an RDF database it should be a biolink model class URI. This field is multi-valued. It should include values for ancestors of the biolink class; for example, a protein such as Shh would have category values biolink:Protein, biolink:GeneProduct, biolink:MolecularEntity, … In an RDF database, nodes will typically have an rdf:type triples. This can be to the most specific biolink class, or potentially to a class more specific than something in biolink. For example, a sequence feature f may have a rdf:type assertion to a SO class such as TF_binding_site, which is more specific than anything in biolink. Here we would have categories {biolink:GenomicEntity, biolink:MolecularEntity, biolink:NamedThing}
  • Range: CategoryType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• type _0..*
  • Range: String
• description _0..1
  • Description: a human-readable description of an entity
  • Range: NarrativeText
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• has attribute _0..*
  • Description: connects any entity to an attribute
  • Range: Attribute
  • in subsets: (samples)

Inherited from gene grouping mixin:

• has gene or gene product _0..*
  • Description: connects an entity with one or more gene or gene products
  • Range: Gene

Inherited from gene product mixin:

• xref _0..*
  • Description: Alternate CURIEs for a thing
  • Range: Uriorcurie
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)

Inherited from macromolecular machine mixin:

• name _0..1
  • Description: A human-readable name for an attribute or entity.
  • Range: LabelType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal,samples)

Inherited from named thing:

• provided by _0..*
  • Description: The value in this node property represents the knowledge provider that created or assembled the node and all of its attributes. Used internally to represent how a particular node made its way into a knowledge provider or graph.
  • Range: String
• category _0..*
  • Description: Name of the high level ontology class in which this entity is categorized. Corresponds to the label for the biolink entity type class.
• In a neo4j database this MAY correspond to the neo4j label tag.

  • Range: CategoryType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)

Inherited from thing with taxon:

• in taxon _0..*
  • Description: connects an entity to its taxonomic classification. Only certain kinds of entities can be taxonomically classified; see ‘thing with taxon’
  • Range: OrganismTaxon
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
