Representation
Record exact terms, modifiers, exclusions, and ontology release.
Phenotype ontology
Phenotypes are not a static list. Their structure, specificity, and absence shape every downstream result.
Semantic structure
Test ancestor propagation and information-content choices.
Ranking stability
Measure which terms dominate candidate prioritization and why.
Questions we force the analysis to answer
Every output is evaluated against explicit interpretive tests.
- Which terms carry genuine discriminating information?
- How does ontology version change gene or disease similarity?
- What happens when uncertain or absent phenotypes are modeled explicitly?
