Tissue

lamindb provides access to the following public Tissue ontologies through bionty:

  1. Uberon

Here we show how to access and search Tissue ontologies to standardize new data.

import bionty as bt
import pandas as pd

PublicOntology objects

Let us create a public ontology accessor with .public method, which chooses a default public ontology source from Source. It’s a PublicOntology object, which you can think about as a public registry:

tissues = bt.Tissue.public(organism="all")
tissues
💡 connected lamindb: testuser1/test-public-ontologies
PublicOntology
Entity: Tissue
Organism: all
Source: uberon, 2024-02-20
#terms: 15567

As for registries, you can export the ontology as a DataFrame:

df = tissues.df()
df.head()
name definition synonyms parents
ontology_id

UBERON:0000005 chemosensory organ None chemosensory sensory organ [UBERON:0000020]

Unlike registries, you can also export it as a Pronto object via public.ontology.

Look up terms

As for registries, terms can be looked up with auto-complete:

lookup = tissues.lookup()

The . accessor provides normalized terms (lower case, only contains alphanumeric characters and underscores):

lookup.alveolus_of_lung
Tissue(ontology_id='UBERON:0002299', name='alveolus of lung', definition='Spherical Outcropping Of The Respiratory Bronchioles And Primary Site Of Gas Exchange With The Blood. Alveoli Are Particular To Mammalian Lungs. Different Structures Are Involved In Gas Exchange In Other Vertebrates[Wp].', synonyms='alveolus pulmonis|pulmonary alveolus|respiratory alveolus|lung alveolus', parents=array(['UBERON:0004119', 'UBERON:0003215'], dtype=object))

To look up the exact original strings, convert the lookup object to dict and use the [] accessor:

lookup_dict = lookup.dict()
lookup_dict["alveolus of lung"]
Tissue(ontology_id='UBERON:0002299', name='alveolus of lung', definition='Spherical Outcropping Of The Respiratory Bronchioles And Primary Site Of Gas Exchange With The Blood. Alveoli Are Particular To Mammalian Lungs. Different Structures Are Involved In Gas Exchange In Other Vertebrates[Wp].', synonyms='alveolus pulmonis|pulmonary alveolus|respiratory alveolus|lung alveolus', parents=array(['UBERON:0004119', 'UBERON:0003215'], dtype=object))

By default, the name field is used to generate lookup keys. You can specify another field to look up:

lookup = tissues.lookup(tissues.ontology_id)
lookup.uberon_0000031
Tissue(ontology_id='UBERON:0000031', name='lamina propria of trachea', definition='A Lamina Propria That Is Part Of A Respiratory Airway.', synonyms='trachea lamina propria mucosa|trachea lamina propria|tracheal lamina propria|lamina propria mucosae of trachea|lamina propria mucosae of windpipe|trachea lamina propria mucosae|windpipe lamina propria mucosae|windpipe lamina propria|lamina propria mucosa of windpipe|lamina propria of windpipe|windpipe lamina propria mucosa|lamina propria mucosa of trachea', parents=array(['UBERON:0004779'], dtype=object))

Search terms

Search behaves in the same way as it does for registries:

tissues.search("alveolus lung").head(3)
ontology_id definition synonyms parents __ratio__
name
alveolus of lung UBERON:0002299 Spherical Outcropping Of The Respiratory Bronc... alveolus pulmonis|pulmonary alveolus|respirato... [UBERON:0004119, UBERON:0003215] 89.655172

By default, search also covers synonyms:

tissues.search("nasal sac").head(3)
ontology_id definition synonyms parents __ratio__

You can turn this off synonym by passing synonyms_field=None:

tissues.search("nasal sac", synonyms_field=None).head(3)

Search another field (default is .name):

tissues.search(
    "alveolus in the lung",
    field=tissues.definition,
).head()
ontology_id name synonyms parents __ratio__

Standardize Tissue identifiers

Let us generate a DataFrame that stores a number of Tissue identifiers, some of which corrupted:

df_orig = pd.DataFrame(
    index=[
        "UBERON:0000000",
        "UBERON:0000005",
        "UBERON:0000001",
        "UBERON:0000002",
        "This tissue does not exist",
    ]
)
df_orig
UBERON:0000000
UBERON:0000005
UBERON:0000001
UBERON:0000002
This tissue does not exist

We can check whether any of our values are validated against the ontology reference:

validated = tissues.validate(df_orig.index, tissues.name)
df_orig.index[~validated]
5 terms (100.00%) are not validated: UBERON:0000000, UBERON:0000005, UBERON:0000001, UBERON:0000002, This tissue does not exist
Index(['UBERON:0000000', 'UBERON:0000005', 'UBERON:0000001', 'UBERON:0000002',
       'This tissue does not exist'],
      dtype='object')

Ontology source versions

For any given entity, we can choose from a number of versions:

bt.Tissue.list_source().df()
