SYNOPSIS

mapmaker.pl -i go/ontology/gene_ontology.obo -s goslim_generic -o my_stuff/mapping-file.txt

DESCRIPTION

# must supply these arguments... or else! # INPUT -i || --ontology /path/to/<file_name> input file (ontology file) with path

# SPECIFYING A SUBSET -s || --subset <subset_name> name of the subset to extract or -t || --termfile /path/to/<file_name> an input file containing a list of terms ## termfile option not yet implemented

# OUTPUT -o || --output /path/to/<file_name> output file with path

#

# MISC SWITCHES -n || --show_names show term names in the mapping file

 -v || --verbose                         prints various messages


	Given a file where certain terms are specified as being in subset S, this
	script will produce a mapping of each term to its ancestors in subset S; the
	mapping indicates which ancestral terms are closest to the term.

	Relationships between terms are calculated by the inference engine.

	If the root nodes are not already in the subset, they are added to the graph.

	The slimming algorithm is 'relationship-aware', and finds the closest node
	for each relation (rather than just the closest term). For example, if we
	had the following relationships:

	A -i- B -i- C -p- D

	the slimmer would say that B was the closest node via the 'i' relation, and
	D was the closest via the 'p' relation.

	Note that there may be several different relationships between the same two
	terms in the slimmed file.

show_names

Show the names of the term in the slim mapping file

Output format

term ID(, term name [optional]) [tab] closest ancestral subset terms for each relationship [tab] all other ancestral terms
