Description

The Uberon and Experimental Factor ontologies in use are hierarchical. It would be a powerful drill-down feature to be able to select terms at any level of the hierarchy, and display experiments/signatures matching any children of that term. For example, selecting oral cavity body site would return all the Uberon oral cavity subsites. Or selecting cancer would return experiments from all kinds of cancer in EFO.

Research direction

The issue names the Uberon and Experimental Factor ontologies and the browsing feature, but no files or tests. Start by locating the existing body-site and cancer term filters and how ontology relationships are represented. Done means selecting a hierarchy term returns experiments or signatures annotated with any descendant term for both ontologies.
