Cell Ontology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Cell ontology)

The Cell Ontology is an ontology that aims at capturing the diversity of cell types in animals.[1] It is part of the Open Biomedical and Biological Ontologies (OBO) Foundry. [2] The Cell Ontology identifiers and organizational structure are used to annotate data at the level of cell types, for example in single-cell RNA-seq studies.[3] It is one important resource in the construction of the Human Cell Atlas. [4]

The Cell Ontology was first described in an academic article in 2005. [5]
