Break-out Group 1: Developmental genetics of morphology
Examples for driving research questions:
- Which genes are known to be expressed in the development of a particular morphological structure?
- Is there a model organism mutant that has a phenotype similar to a human disease?
Characters
GW - describe natural units
- not necessarily arbitrary
- can phenotype be decomposed into natural mechanistic units
CK - could ontology hold you back from describing some things
GW - can lead to confusion
EJ - this database can be a way of discovering these units
GW - would database be like GenBank - I could describe a fish and deposit my phenotypes
