Sequence Feature

• CURIE: gmeow:SequenceFeature
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/SequenceFeature
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/places
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

A feature or annotation on a biological sequence — a range with start, end, strand, and type, expressed in a reference assembly frame. The first-class entity that carries the coordinates and type; linked to a BiologicalSequenceLocation via gmeow:hasSequenceFeature.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Entity, gufo:Object

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:SequenceFeature as a specialized kind of gmeow:Entity, gufo:Object. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Common Companion Terms

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a feature/annotation on a biological sequence — a gene, exon, SNP, or CDS with start, end, strand, and type in an assembly frame.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for the container chromosome (gmeow:BiologicalSequenceLocation) and avoid coordinates without an assembly frame (Principle 11).

How to use

• Mint SequenceFeature, set gmeow:sequenceFeatureType, attach gmeow:hasSequenceCoordinates, and link from the container via gmeow:hasSequenceFeature.

Examples

• ex:brca1 a gmeow:SequenceFeature; gmeow:sequenceFeatureType gmeow:sequenceFeatureTypeGene; gmeow:hasSequenceCoordinates ex:brca1Coords.
