Introduction
Symbiotic interactions between protists and prokaryotes, described with structured data.
The aim is to model information about:
- Taxonomy of both hosts and symbionts, with links to external databases (primarily NCBI)
- Localization of symbionts in cellular compartments of the host cell, using Gene Ontology terms
- Nature of biotic interactions, if this is known, using Relation Ontology terms (although there are some limitations in this ontology for describing mutualistic interactions)
- Analytical methods used to study the symbioses
The information was originally collected as part of my doctoral dissertation (2017).
