Welcome to the OBO Foundry Anatomy Portal!

This community page organizes different OBO anatomy ontologies and describes how they relate to one another.

Upper level

The Common Anatomy Reference Ontology (CARO) provides an upper-level structure that should be used as superclasses in OBO anatomy ontologies.

Subcellular

We take the term anatomy to include subcellular anatomy, which is covered in GO.

Note that some ontologies (WBbt, FBbt) include their own more specific subcellular components

Cells

  • Plants: po
  • Animals: cl

Note that some ontologies (PO, FBbt) include their own more specific cell types

Gross anatomy

Plants

The Plant Ontology (PO) covers all viridiplantae, and includes cell types as well as tissues/organs

Fungal

The Plant Ontology (PO) covers all multicellular fungi, and includes cell types as well as multi-cell structures

Slime Mold

Animals

Uberon is a multi-species anatom ontology covering metazoa (animals). It can be used to bridge other species-specific animal anatomy ontologies, see the documentation for details.

Species or taxon-specific anatomy ontologies

  • Vertebrates
    • Vertebrate non-mammalian
    • Mammals
  • Non-vertebrate animals

Stage Ontologies

We have a separate github repo:

  • https://github.com/obophenotype/developmental-stage-ontologies
