Aliases

  • biological process
  • metabolic pathway
  • signaling pathway

TODOs

  • If we reverted to including Reaction in the schema, then a Reaction would be a reasonable part_of a Pathway
  • is Pathway instantiated in an MongoDB collection? Aren't Pathways searchable in the Data Portal?

Identifier and Mapping Information

Valid ID Prefixes

Instances of this class should have identifiers with one of the following prefixes:

    notes:
    - replaces legacy nmdc:type slot
    - makes it easier to read example data files
    - required for polymorphic MongoDB collections
