Need
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
- I would like to use get_highest_level_term (and related functions) to map CL terms to their UBERON ancestors (i.e. terms in the tissue_general list).
Approach
Describe the solution you'd like
- I would like to be able to query for UBERON ancestors of CL terms
- I would also like to be able to optionally exclude terms from different ontologies when querying for ancestors
- Since UBERON has its own term graph generated by the builder, consider whether it makes more sense to: merge the CL/UBERON graphs on common terms vs. keep them separate and require specifying which you are querying vs. provide the option to query either a merged or distinct graph where applicable.
- If any function signature undergoes a breaking change as a result, release a MAJOR version of COG and communicate to consumers
- As such, seriously consider impacts of changing existing function signatures vs. adding a new one to support the new user-case
