PATO - Phenotypic Quality Ontology
This wiki page currently serves as the home page for the PATO project and related efforts
What is PATO?
PATO is an ontology of phenotypic qualities, intended for use in a number of applications, primarily defining composite phenotypes and phenotype annotation.
For more details, see
Resources
the NCBO will be developing resources to support PATO.

Phenotype Ontologies
These will soon be available from NCBO BioPortal. For now you should just obtain them from http://obo.sourceforge.net/browse.html
- PATO
- Phenotypic qualities that form the building blocks of phenotype descriptions. Also available in OWL (see also PATO:Phenotypes_in_OWL)
- Mammalian Phenotype
- Composite phenotype terms for the description of phenotype in Mammalia
- Plant Trait
- Composite phenotype terms for phenotype in plants
- Yeast
- Worm
See PATO:Pre_vs_Post_Coordinating for preliminary work on reconciling the pre vs post composition approaches
Request tracker
You can use the tracker (currently hosted on sourceforge) to request new terms or suggest modifications
Requests for new terms should preferably come attached with proposed definitions and sources for those definitions
