• AnatomicalEntityToAnatomicalEntityAssociation
• BiosampleToDiseaseOrPhenotypicFeatureAssociation - An association between a biosample and a disease or phenotype
• BiosampleToThingAssociation - An association between a biosample and something
• CaseToPhenotypicFeatureAssociation - An association between a case (e.g. individual patient) and a phenotypic feature in which the individual has or has had the phenotype
• CaseToThingAssociation - An abstract association for use where the case is the subject
• CellLineToDiseaseOrPhenotypicFeatureAssociation - An relationship between a cell line and a disease or a phenotype, where the cell line is derived from an individual with that disease or phenotype
• CellLineToThingAssociation - An relationship between a cell line and another entity
• ChemicalToDiseaseOrPhenotypicFeatureAssociation - An interaction between a chemical entity and a phenotype or disease, where the presence of the chemical gives rise to or exacerbates the phenotype
• ChemicalToGeneAssociation - An interaction between a chemical entity and a gene or gene product
• ChemicalToPathwayAssociation - An interaction between a chemical entity and a biological process or pathway
• ChemicalToThingAssociation - An interaction between a chemical entity and another entity
• DiseaseOrPhenotypicFeatureAssociationToThingAssociation
• DiseaseToPhenotypicFeatureAssociation - An association between a disease and a phenotypic feature in which the phenotypic feature is associated with the disease in some way
• DiseaseToThingAssociation
• EntityToPhenotypicFeatureAssociation
• EnvironmentToPhenotypicFeatureAssociation - Any association between an environment and a phenotypic feature, where being in the environment influences the phenotype
• FunctionalAssociation - An association between a macromolecular machine (gene, gene product or complex of gene products) and either a molecular activity, a biological process or a cellular location in which a function is executed
• GeneRegulatoryRelationship - A regulatory relationship between two genes
• GeneToDiseaseAssociation
• GeneToExpressionSiteAssociation - An association between a gene and an expression site, possibly qualified by stage/timing info.
• GeneToGeneAssociation - abstract parent class for different kinds of gene-gene or gene product to gene product relationships. Includes homology and interaction.
• GeneToPhenotypicFeatureAssociation
• GeneToThingAssociation
• GenomicSequenceLocalization - A relationship between a sequence feature and an entity it is localized to. The reference entity may be a chromosome, chromosome region or information entity such as a contig
• GenotypeToGeneAssociation - Any association between a genotype and a gene. The genotype have have multiple variants in that gene or a single one. There is no assumption of cardinality
• GenotypeToGenotypePartAssociation - Any association between one genotype and a genotypic entity that is a sub-component of it
• GenotypeToPhenotypicFeatureAssociation - Any association between one genotype and a phenotypic feature, where having the genotype confers the phenotype, either in isolation or through environment
• GenotypeToThingAssociation
• GenotypeToVariantAssociation - Any association between a genotype and a sequence variant.
• PairwiseInteractionAssociation - An interaction at the molecular level between two physical entities
• PopulationToPopulationAssociation - An association between a two populations
• SequenceFeatureRelationship - For example, a particular exon is part of a particular transcript or gene
• SequenceVariantModulatesTreatmentAssociation - An association between a sequence variant and a treatment or health intervention. The treatment object itself encompasses both the disease and the drug used.
• ThingToDiseaseOrPhenotypicFeatureAssociation
• VariantToDiseaseAssociation
• VariantToPhenotypicFeatureAssociation
• VariantToPopulationAssociation - An association between a variant and a population, where the variant has particular frequency in the population
