Gene-disease and gene-phenotype annotations are created for RGD genes based on associations imported from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA) database. OMIA "phene" terms are manually matched to RGD Disease Ontology (RDO) and Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MP) terms by RGD curators and stored as alternative IDs (alt_ids) for the corresponding ontology terms in RGD. The causal_mutations/gene_table and omia.xml.zip files are downloaded from OMIA (http://omia.angis.org.au/download/) and species-specific lines (e.g. for dog) are extracted. Genes in the file are matched to RGD genes via the NCBI Gene ID and "phenes" are matched via the alternate IDs as detailed above. Since the downloaded data was not reviewed by RGD curators before making assignments, the evidence code assigned to these annotations is "IEA", that is, "inferred by electronic annotation". The PubMed ID(s) for the original associations are stored/presented in the XREF_SOURCE/"Original References" field. The pipeline is run and annotations updated on a weekly basis.
