Dictyostelium Phenotype Ontology

Other names: DDPHENO, Dictyostelium Discoideum Phenotype Ontology

A structured controlled vocabulary of phenotypes of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. The Dicty Phenotype Ontology is a hierarchical controlled vocabulary used for annotating strains with phenotypes. Terms from the Dicty Phenotype Ontology are required when annotating phenotypes within dictyBase. The phenotype ontology consists of two composite terms: (1) the anatomical part or the biological process changed in the mutant, and (2) a quality describing that modification. For example, a ‘delayed aggregation’ phenotype qualifies the ‘aggregation’ (biological process) as being ‘delayed’, or the ‘decreased spore size’ qualifies the ‘spore’ to be of ‘decreased size’.
