Wikidata:Property proposal/genetic variant of
biological variant of[edit]
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science
| Description | A variant of a physical biological entity (e.g., gene sequence, protein sequence, epigenetic mark) |
|---|---|
| Data type | Item |
| Example | BRAF V600E (Q21851559) → BRAF (Q17853226) |
| Source | CIViC database (Q27612411) |
| Planned use | Adding variant annotations from CIViCdb |
| Robot and gadget jobs | This property will be used in bot workflows by for example the ProteinBoxBot |
- Motivation
In preparation to add annotations and interpretations of genetic variants in Wikidata, we need a property to explicitly link a variant and the related gene. Genetic variants have been modelled using the "part of (P361)" property. After reconsideration the use of that property does not capture the full semantics of those relationships. A designated property would be a better choice. It als leads to simpler queries, when querying for gene-disease and gene-drugs interactions. Genetic variants are key in expressing relationships between genes and diseases and genes and drug responses --Andrawaag (talk) 15:52, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- Discussion
Support Andrew Su (talk) 16:44, 15 December 2016 (UTC)- Support - Also useful for describing relationships between genes and non-disease state differences like taste perception Gtsulab (talk) 17:02, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- Support Clearer semantics for variant annotation in Wikidata NuriaQueralt (talk) 18:00, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- Support. This looks like a useful property for relationships of genes in the biomedical domain.YULdigitalpreservation (talk) 18:26, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Done @Andrawaag, Andrew Su, Gtsulab, NuriaQueralt:@YULdigitalpreservation, ChristianKl: See here: biological variant of (P3433)--Micru (talk) 10:11, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
