Trogloglanis is shown to possess a distinctive mosaic of relatively primitive and highly derived character states. Many of its features are paralleled in rother troglobitic catfishes, some of its features are paedomorphic. Phylogenetic analysis leads to the following
hypothesis of inter-relationships. Pylodictis and Satan are sister groups, Noturus is monophyletic and is the sister group of Prietella,
the subgenus Amiurus of Ictalurus is monophyletic and is the sister group of Noturus + Prietella + Pylodictis + Satan. In turn this large lineage is the sister group of Trogloglanis. The subgenus Ictalurus is monophyletic and is the sister group of all other living ictalurids. Geological and paleontological data suggest that Trogloglanis could not have evolved in situ before middle Eocene, but that its immediate repigean ancestors evolved by middle Oligocene.",

Bulk term name mapper
URI
<BASE URI>/term/names
This service accepts a list of term IDs and returns a JSON mapping of IDs to names. Rank and extinct status are included in the output for taxon terms. The render_postcompositions
key is optional, and can take the values "none" (the default), "structure", "semantic_label", or "simple_label".
Accepts via POST
JSON: <javascript> { "ids":["TAO:0000620", "TTO:1380", "TTO:11021", "ZFIN:ZDB-GENE-061116-1"], "render_postcompositions": "none" } </javascript>
Returns
JSON: <javascript> {"terms":[ {"id":"TAO:0000620","name":"autopalatine"}, {"id":"TTO:1380","extinct":false,"rank":{"id":"TAXRANK:0000003","name":"order"},"name":"Siluriformes"}, {"id":"TTO:11021","extinct":false,"rank":{"id":"TAXRANK:0000004","name":"family"},"name":"Erethistidae"}, {"id":"ZFIN:ZDB-GENE-061116-1","name":"foxe1"}]} </javascript>
Autocomplete
URI
<BASE URI>/term/search?text=[input]&name=[true|false]&syn=[true|false]&ontology=[ont1,ont2,...]&type=[type1,type2,...]&limit=[count]
All URI parameters are optional except for text
. Default values are name=true
, syn=false
. The ontology
parameter should be a comma-separated list of ontology prefixes to search within (any of tao, go, pato, tto, zfin, pspub
). The type
parameter should be any of: entity, quality, taxon, gene, pub
. If no ontology or type is given, the default is to search all ontologies. The limit
parameter limits the number of results to the given integer count.
Returns
JSON: <javascript> {
"matches": [{ "match_text": "Brachydanio rerio", "id": "TTO:1001979", "match_type": "syn", "name": "Danio rerio", "source": "teleost-taxonomy" }, { "match_text": "Cyprinus rerio", "id": "TTO:1001979", "match_type": "syn", "name": "Danio rerio", "source": "teleost-taxonomy" }, { "match_text": "Danio rerio", "id": "TTO:1001979", "match_type": "name", "name": "Danio rerio", "source": "teleost-taxonomy" }], "search_term": "rerio"
} </javascript>
Error
If there are no terms matching the given input, a document should still be returned, containing an empty results list.
Gene annotations
URI
<BASE URI>/annotation/gene?query=[url-encoded-json]&sortby=[gene|entity|quality|relatedentity]&limit=[count]&index=[start_index]&desc=[true|false]&postcompositions=[none|structure|simple|semantic]
All URI parameters are optional. If no JSON-formatted query specification is provided, all gene annotations will be returned. The limit
parameter limits the number of results to the given integer count. This must be a positive integer. The index
parameter can be used for pagination under a given sorting and limit regime. It should be greater than or equal to zero (the default). desc
can be used to return the results in descending order (it is false by default). If a value is not provided for sortby
, the sort order, limit, and start index are not very useful. The postcompositions
parameter is optional, and is "none" by default. Rendering postcompositions should only be requested for a limited number of returned results.
Phenotype query specification
The value of the query
parameter should be an annotation query represented as JSON, following this structure (in practice it should be collapsed as far as possible to shorten the URL):
<javascript> {
"gene": [ { "id": "ZFIN:XXXX" }, { "id": "ZFIN:YYYY" } ], "phenotype": [ { "entity": { "id": "TAO:XXXX", "including_parts": false }, "quality": { "id": "PATO:XXXX" }, "related_entity": { "id": "TAO:YYYYY" } } ], "include_inferred": false

} </javascript>
Gene annotation sources
URI
<BASE URI>/annotation/gene/source?query=[url-encoded-json]&postcompositions=[none|structure|simple|semantic]
A JSON-formatted query specification must be provided. It must contain entries for one annotation, including gene, entity, quality, and optional related entity. While the gene and phenotype entries are lists, this is just for consistency with the query format used in other services - each list should contain only one entry. The postcompositions
parameter is optional, and is "none" by default.
Phenotype query specification
The value of the query
parameter should be an annotation query represented as JSON, following this structure (in practice it should be collapsed as far as possible to shorten the URL):
<javascript> {
"gene": [ { "id": "ZFIN:XXXX" } ], "phenotype": [ { "entity": { "id": "TAO:XXXX" }, "quality": { "id": "PATO:XXXX" }, "related_entity": { "id": "TAO:YYYYY" } } ]

Taxon annotation sources
URI
<BASE URI>/annotation/taxon/source?query=[url-encoded-json]&postcompositions=[none|structure|simple|semantic]
A JSON-formatted query specification must be provided. It must contain entries for one annotation, including taxon, entity, quality, and optional related entity. While the taxon and phenotype entries are lists, this is just for consistency with the query format used in other services - each list should contain only one entry. The "publication" list is optional, but may contain multiple publications within which to constrain the results. The postcompositions
parameter is optional, and is "none" by default.
Phenotype query specification
The value of the query
parameter should be an annotation query represented as JSON, following this structure (in practice it should be collapsed as far as possible to shorten the URL):
<javascript> {
"taxon": [ { "id": "TTO:XXXX" } ], "phenotype": [ { "entity": { "id": "TAO:XXXX" }, "quality": { "id": "PATO:XXXX" }, "related_entity": { "id": "TAO:YYYYY" } } ], "publication": [ { "id": "PSPUB:1243" } ]
} </javascript> It should be URL-encoded to include in the request.
Returns
JSON: <javascript> {"annotations":[{"otu":"Silurus glanis", "entity":{"id":"TAO:0000316","name":"basihyal bone"}, "state":{"text":"basihyal absent"}, "quality":{"id":"PATO:0000462","name":"absent"}, "taxon":{"id":"TTO:1005466","extinct":false,"rank":{"id":"TAXRANK:0000006","name":"species"},"name":"Silurus glanis"}, "character":{"text":"Basihyal","character_number":"240"}, "publication":{"id":"PSPUB:0000022","name":"de Pinna 1993"}}]} </javascript>
Taxa
URI
<BASE URI>/taxon/annotated?query=[url-encoded-json]&sortby=[taxon|family|order]&limit=[count]&index=[start_index]&desc=[true|false]
All URI parameters are optional. If no JSON-formatted query specification is provided, all annotated taxa will be returned. The limit
parameter limits the number of results to the given integer count. This must be a positive integer. The index
parameter can be used for pagination under a given sorting and limit regime. It should be greater than or equal to zero (the default). desc
can be used to return the results in descending order (it is false by default). If a value is not provided for sortby
, the sort order, limit, and start index are not very useful.

Other ontology service definitions (for comparison)
- Ontology Lookup Service (OLS) at the EBI. cote2006 According to the website, the OLS can integrate any ontology available in OBO format. OLS is implemented as a web-service. The website has documentation on
- web-service API (representing the WSDL) with JavaDoc for the interface contract, and
- implementation overview (architecture)
- OLS also provides 3 ReST-style services, similar to some of the lookups described above. These queries return a simple key-value XML format.
