Function Get ontology term(s) by parent id Description ontogetdown finds ontology terms matching a query. All children of the term, related to the term 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 ontogetdown % ontogetdown edam:0000850 Get ontology term(s) by parent id Obo output file [0000850.obo]: Go to the input files for this example Go to the output files for this example Command line arguments Get ontology term(s) by parent id Version: EMBOSS:6.4.0.0 Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers: [-oboterms] obo Obo term filename and optional format, or reference (input query) [-outfile] outobo [*.ontogetdown] Output ontology term file name Additional (Optional) qualifiers: -obsolete boolean [N] The default behaviour is to not use or return obsolete terms. This option if set will include all terms. Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers: (none) Associated qualifiers: "-oboterms" associated qualifiers -iformat1 string Input obo format -idbname1 string User-provided database name "-outfile" associated qualifiers -odirectory2 string Output directory -oformat2 string Ontology term output format General qualifiers: -auto boolean Turn off prompts -stdout boolean Write first file to standard output -filter boolean Read first file from standard input, write first file to standard output -options boolean Prompt for standard and additional values -debug boolean Write debug output to program.dbg -verbose boolean Report some/full command line options -help boolean Report command line options and exit. More information on associated and general qualifiers can be found with -help -verbose -warning boolean Report warnings -error boolean Report errors -fatal boolean Report fatal errors -die boolean Report dying program messages -version boolean Report version number and exit 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:0000850 [Term] id: EDAM:0000850 name: Sequence set namespace: data def: A collection of multiple molecular sequences and associated metadata that d o not (typically) correspond to molecular sequence database records or entries a nd which (typically) are derived from some analytical method. comment: This term may be used for arbitrary sequence sets and associated data a rising from processing. subset: data is_a: EDAM:0002955 ! Sequence report 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. Output files for usage example File: 0000850.obo [Term] id: EDAM:0001234 name: Sequence set (nucleic acid) namespace: data def: Any collection of multiple nucleotide sequences and associated metadata tha t do not (typically) correspond to common sequence database records or database entries. subset: data is_a: EDAM:0000850 ! Sequence set is_a: EDAM:0002977 ! Nucleic acid sequence [Term] id: EDAM:0001233 name: Sequence set (protein) namespace: data def: Any collection of multiple protein sequences and associated metadata that d o not (typically) correspond to common sequence database records or database ent ries. subset: data is_a: EDAM:0000850 ! Sequence set [Term] id: EDAM:0001235 name: Sequence cluster namespace: data def: A set of sequences that have been clustered or otherwise classified as belo nging to a group including (typically) sequence cluster information. comment: The cluster might include sequences identifiers, short descriptions, al ignment and summary information. subset: data is_a: EDAM:0000850 ! Sequence set relationship: in_topic EDAM:0000164 ! Sequence clustering relationship: in_topic EDAM:0000724 ! Protein families [Term] id: EDAM:0002245 name: Sequence set (bootstrapped) namespace: data def: A collection of sequences output from a bootstrapping (resampling) procedur e. comment: Bootstrapping is often performed in phylogenetic analysis. subset: data is_a: EDAM:0000850 !
