The Mouse Chromosome Ontology (MCO) provides simple and stable URIs for mouse reference genome versions to semantically identify mouse chromosomes.
Basic class mco:MouseChromosome
is inherited by each chromosome class such as mco:2
and mco:GenomeBuild
is inherited by each build version such as mco:GRCm39
. Then, for example, the mouse chromosome 2 of the GRCm39 version is represented as mco:2\/GRCm39
(http://identifiers.org/mco/2/GRCm39) which is defined as an instance of mco:2
with build version mco:GRCm39
. Each instance of a chromosome has links to external resources such as INSDC, RefSeq, UCSC etc. so that users can be navigated to the chromosome sequence and its annotations.
