Presentation Transcript

  1. Joined up ontologies: incorporating the Gene Ontology into the UMLS

  2. The Gene Ontology (GO) • Controlled vocabulary for describing molecular biology • hierarchical • multiple parentage allowed • defined terms

  3. Structure of GO (Created using the tool GenNav, developed at NLM)

  4. The ontologies What does it do? What processes is it involved in? Where does it act? gene product

  5. The ontologies What does it do? molecular function What processes is it involved in? Where does it act? gene product

  6. The ontologies What does it do? molecular function What processes is it involved in? biological process Where does it act? gene product

  7. The ontologies What does it do? molecular function What processes is it involved in? biological process Where does it act? cellular component gene product

  8. Gene annotation: assigning GO terms to gene products • Genes or gene products • GO terms “linked” to gene products • Gene products annotated to all 3 ontologies • May be linked to more than one term in each ontology nucleus regulation of transcription ATP dependent helicase DNA binding

  9. Queries across databases fly rat nuclease signal transducer cytoplasm yeast membrane mouse toxin catabolism osmosensory signaling pathway DNA binding DNA binding nucleus helicase mitotic cell cycle regulation of transcription nucleus Find me all gene products with ‘DNA binding activity’…

  10. Associating with different levels of ontology (Created using the tool GenNav, developed at NLM)

  11. GO and other systems • Useful to equate GO with other systems • Mappings files • e.g. ec2go • References in GO • as dbxrefs e.g. BioCyc • References in other systems • e.g. BRENDA (in process) • UMLS Metathesaurus

  12. GO into UMLS • Unified Medical Language System • Long-term project at NLM • Three parts: specialist lexicon; sematic network; Metathesaurus • Metathesaurus interrelates biomedical vocabularies • Includes ~60 vocabularies including SNOMED and MeSH.

  13. Inserting GO into UMLS • inversion • converting GO to correct format for UMLS • insertion • inserting GO using matching algorithms • editing • all concepts containing GO term reviewed by hand

  14. 19.74 % MSH2003_2002_08_14 (Medical Subject Headings) Statistics 7.34 % CSP2002 (Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects Thesaurus) 11.05 % • % of GO in sources with other concepts, by source SNMI98 (Systemized Nomenclature of Human and Veterinary Medicine) SNOMED CRISP GO MeSH

  15. Potential applications • Mining abstracts using GO terms: DNA helicase ; GO:0003678 UMLS MeSH term GO <-> MeSH

  16. Status of GO into UMLS • Molecular function ontology already inserted • Hope to insert other two ontologies by April • Release GO with UMLS by end of year
