Description

The Alliance expression working group is planning to use the UBERON terms "digestive system" and "hepatobiliary system" in the gene expression anatomy ribbon. The concensus in the group, also reflected in species-specific anatomies for zebrafish and mouse, is that only parts of the hepatobiliary system are rightly part of the digestive system. Currently in Uberon "hepatobiliary system" is part of "digestive system". One suggestion would be to move "hepatobiliary system" out from under "digestive system" so it is a sibling under "anatomical system" and make the parts of the hepatobiliary system which are part of digestive system..be part of digestive system.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the current Uberon hierarchy for “hepatobiliary system,” “digestive system,” and their parts, then compare the proposed arrangement with the zebrafish and mouse anatomies mentioned. Done means the hierarchy reflects the stated sibling relationship and correctly places the relevant parts under digestive system.
