This page discusses the method developed and implemented in late 2010 for search for, and scoring, phenotype matches between taxa (Phenoscape) and zebrafish mutants (ZFIN).

Purpose

An important goal for the Phenoscape project is to be able to suggest candidate genes that may have contributed to evolutionary change. The way that we have proposed to do this is to search for changes in phenotype that appear as the result of mutations in model organisms and also appear as phenotype changes on an evolutionary tree.

Selecting Phenotypes from Taxon Annotations

Using attributes to limit the scope of quality comparisons

Each phenotype is linked to multiple entities via inheres_in_part_of relations.

Scoring matches of individual phenotypes

Scoring matches of sets of phenotypes (phenotypic profiles) associated with a gene or taxon node
