ABA-Uberon bridge file updates
We have some expert-curated stuff for ABA-uberon bridge files that need to be updated CCF_to_UBERON.xlsx
- Ignore verify for now
- Remove mapping for nok - @shawntanzk to find out what the alternative is (can we replace with something more generic for now)
- Change accordingly for gen
@shawntanzk, let me know if anything is unclear with the mappings or if you need anything at all.
@patrick-lloyd-ray - just one thing, for the nok -> is there an alternative we can map to? something perhaps more generic or something? PS we assumed verify meant that it still needed to be verified
for the nok -> is there an alternative we can map to? something perhaps more generic or something?
If I could find a mapping that worked, I put it in column F. If F is empty, there should be 'add term' in G (meaning we would like to add a new term).
we assumed verify meant that it still needed to be verified
If column F is blank, then they are in need of verification. If there is a term in column F, that has been verified.
Looks like many are fixed already - found some that aren't so will still go through the whole list and make the fixes. New terms don't seem to have been added, will slowly get through them - might take awhile as I will need to do research on each of them and all
Some terms are confusing - if its sensible to change the status, I will: eg http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/DMBA_16339 (intercalate nucleus) - is nok and has add term but its mapped to exactly the same thing it uberon as http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HBA_9572 ( intercalate nucleus)

To verify @patrick-lloyd-ray MBA_820 (inferior colliculus, dorsal nucleus) is mapped to the same as MBA_811 (inferior colliculus, central nucleus) - UBERON_0002563 (central nucleus of inferior colliculus) Bridge file currently maps MBA_820 to UBERON_0002577 (pericentral nucleus of inferior colliculus) which seems more correct - I hence didnt want to change it.
There are some marked "cerebellum" which dont seem to be in the bridge file. The MBA stuff seem to require specific layers to be added to UBERON anyway. My suggestion is that I add them to uberon and add them to bridge file after.
Whole bunch not in bridge file - not sure how it is being mapped? Not sure what to do with them

MBA_985 (primary motor area) is mapped to primary motor cortex in uberon which is right from what I see in the brain atlas - it is marked ok but also has "add term" to it - will ignore it for now, but in case it means something, please do let me know

spot checked on row 4670-5051 -> they don't seem to be in bridge file at all
These mappings seem a bit odd - its MBA but mapped to Broadann area which can't be right yeah?

Yeah, that might be a problem that has since been fixed, the mapping file I received is a few years old, so it's possible some of these have gotten patched up since.
These mappings seem a bit odd - its MBA but mapped to Broadann area which can't be right yeah?
Yeah, that's a mistake -- they are supposed to be: prelimbic area, layer [X].
Doesn't have "Add Term" in excel sheet but mapping seems wrong and needs term adding:
Yeah, there are going to be some of these too -- it's a lot of lines/structures to check, so I've surely made some mistakes trying to get these done sort-of quickly. I appreciate the verifications.
Layer stuff (note, dont think they need be added, but can instead be like 'has soma location' some 'primary somatosensory area' and 'has soma location' some 'cortical layer 1' etc.):
For these (and ones like them), the atlases are pretty fine-grained but this sounds like a fine solution for annotating cell location.
MBA_985 (primary motor area) is mapped to primary motor cortex in uberon which is right from what I see in the brain atlas - it is marked ok but also has "add term" to it - will ignore it for now, but in case it means something, please do let me know
Yes, that is a typo.
DMBA Long list of terms to add (kept this separate as its really long and clustered together (some are 'HAS PARALLEL', not sure what this means, but best to check for mappings before adding anything anyway):
HAS PARALLEL means (as I was using it) that the structure is parallel to some other structure that already exists in UBERON. e.g., central glial substance is parallel to or surrounds the central canal.
Can we go through some of these on a call?

I think @lydiang would like to be in the loop here.
For layers: general class with part relations to both
eg primary somatosensory area, barrel field, layer 1 Regional part of cerebral layer and part of "Primary somatosensory area, barrel field" and part of "layer 1"
@cmungall @patrick-lloyd-ray @lydiang @dosumis Would have been nice if we could use a BDS ontology call to discuss this, but the next 2 are holidays in the UK. Perhaps we could use part of the UBERON call on 25/04/22 to discuss this? For those who don't have the invite to it and would like to attend, please see agenda here for details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XvMbNvr0FEsdqGhg79BYCYEHSqUxRHMcvhbGizEAht8/edit#
@patrick-lloyd-ray - looking to start adding stuff to bridge file and want to provide provenance to the source of mapping. I'm guessing it isn't just you who looked at it and there isn't a easy way to separate who did what - Could we put source as allen institute using https://ror.org/03cpe7c52
Note to self: Not all that are "OK" in the mapping file are correctly mapped in bridge file Probably a better idea to robot template a whole new bridge file based on the spreadsheet
Example: MBA_594 is ok in sheet and rightly mapped to UBERON_0011179, but wrongly mapped to UBERON_0001880 in bridge
@tgbugs - this is the ticket. See this comment for meeting https://github.com/obophenotype/uberon/issues/2384#issuecomment-1098796442
Perhaps we could use part of the UBERON call on 25/04/22 to discuss this?
I can make the call on the 25th. If we need a separate call, then that would be fine as well.
Could we put source as allen institute using https://ror.org/03cpe7c52
Absolutely.
I'll be there!

Bridge files generated from using xrefs through https://github.com/obophenotype/uberon/blob/master/src/scripts/make-bridge-ontologies-from-xrefs.pl
Differentiate provenance from those that came originally from the bridge file to those that come from the ABA experts. Original bridge - credit to Chris Mungall; Approved by experts using Allen Brain Institute ROR - using another annotation. @shawntanzk to pick whatever AP for now, and we can change this when we discuss further.
@patrick-lloyd-ray - just wondering what mapping changed like that mean? Should I map MBA_911 as equivalent to UBERON_0002618 instead of UBERON_0001644? Seems odd to map that way by name but I do understand that name and atlas is different.
