Function

Get ontology term(s) by id with common parent

Description

ontogetsibs finds ontology terms matching a query. All siblings of the term (i.e. sharingh the same parent by 'is_a' (class/subclass) relationships, are returned. The information may be written to an output file in various formats.

Usage

Here is a sample session with ontogetsibs 


% ontogetsibs edam:0000575 
Get ontology term(s) by id with common parent
Obo output file [0000575.obo]:

Input file format

The input is a standard EMBOSS ontology query.

The major ontology sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations are EDAM, GO (gene Ontology) and SO (Sequence Ontology).

Data can also be read from ontology output in "obo" format written by an EMBOSS application.

Input files for usage example

Database entry: edam:0000575

[Term]
id: EDAM:0000575
name: Restriction map rendering
namespace: operation
def: Visualise restriction maps in DNA sequences.
subset: operation
is_a: EDAM:0000573 ! DNA map rendering
is_a: EDAM:0000431 ! Restriction site recognition
relationship: has_output EDAM:0001289 ! Restriction map

Output file format

The output is a standard EMBOSS ontology term file.

The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -oformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: obo, brief, list, html, xml, json, excel.

See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/OntologyFormats.html for further information on ontology formats.
