ensembl_ontotax

Search and traverse ontology terms (GO, EFO, HP, MP) or NCBI taxonomy classifications. Explore relationships like ancestors, descendants, parents, and children for terms or species.

Instructions

Ontology term search and NCBI taxonomy traversal. Search GO terms, phenotype ontologies, and taxonomic classifications.
