|
| Term | ID | Current def_xref |
|---|---|---|
| extended amygdala | UBERON_9920005 | ASCTB-TEMP IRI only |
| occipitoparietal transition region | UBERON_9920015 | ASCTB-TEMP IRI only |
| occipitotemporal transition region | UBERON_9920017 | ASCTB-TEMP IRI only |
Suggested references:
- extended amygdala: PMID:25899707 (cited in related manual_curation.tsv for IFJ; a dedicated extended amygdala reference such as PMID:12948448 should be verified)
- occipitoparietal transition region: JSON unresolvable section suggests PMID:25316338 or PMID:28981612
- occipitotemporal transition region: JSON suggests PMID:19457377
🟡 IMPORTANT
4. Possible overlap with existing UBERON:0013531 (retrosplenial region) — curator decision needed
The candidates.tsv flags "cingulate gyrus, retrosplenial part" as a possible_match for UBERON:0013531. Both terms cover the same Brodmann areas (26, 29, 30) and the same anatomical territory. The candidates report notes:
"UBERON:0013531 (retrosplenial region) refers to the same anatomical location but is classified as a cortical region (is_a: regional part of brain, part_of: cingulate cortex), while the requested term would be a gyral subdivision (is_a: gyrus, part_of: cingulate gyrus). Similar dual gyrus/cortex terminology exists in UBERON for anterior cingulate gyrus (UBERON:0002756) vs anterior cingulate cortex (UBERON:0009835)."
This is the correct reasoning for allowing both terms. However, the PR should document this decision, and the new term should add an xref or relationship to UBERON:0013531 for disambiguation.
5. ifj1 and ifj2 remain unresolved — labels are not anatomically standard
These are correctly excluded from the final template (good), but they are still present in the source data (hra-brain-reports/errors.tsv). Per the manual_curation.tsv, the ASCTB data providers need to clarify what anatomical/functional features distinguish ifj1 from ifj2, and provide standard anatomical names. Should be tracked as a follow-up action.
🔵 SUGGESTIONS
6. ifs1–ifs4 source labels not retained as synonyms
The name_corrections.tsv recommends keeping the source labels (ifs1, ifs2, ifs3, ifs4) as exact synonyms since these are atlas-specific codes. The template currently only shows the corrected names (anterior/middle-anterior/middle-posterior/posterior inferior frontal sulcus) with no synonym column. Consider adding these as exact_synonym for atlas-to-ontology mapping.
7. PR has no description
The PR body is empty. A brief description of what terms are added, what was excluded and why, and what decisions were made during curation would aid review significantly.
8. bulk_ntr_workflow/ intermediate files
These files appear to be workflow artifacts (JSON inputs/outputs, initial TSVs). It's worth confirming whether these should be committed to the repository long-term or are only needed during the curation workflow.
Summary
Verdict: Request changes. The template has an incomplete entry (UBERON_9920004 with [PENDING] definition and no hierarchy) and a typo in the same term's name, plus three terms without real literature references — all failing the QC checklist required before merge. The rest of the new terms (atrium of lateral ventricle, body/head of hippocampus, frontomarginal gyrus, extended amygdala, 4 inferior frontal sulcus subdivisions, 2 transition regions) look anatomically reasonable and well-structured.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This PR adds 12 new HRA brain terms but has several issues blocking merge:
🔴 CRITICAL:
- UBERON_9920004 'cingulate gyrus, retrosplenial part' has a [PENDING] definition and empty is_a/part_of hierarchy — cannot be loaded by ROBOT. The resolved values exist in bulk_ntr_workflow/outputs/definitions/uberon_0002967.json and need to be applied to the template.
- Typo in term name: 'retrospleninal' → 'retrosplenial' throughout.
- Three terms (extended amygdala, occipitoparietal transition region, occipitotemporal transition region) have only ASCTB-TEMP placeholder IRIs as def_xref — real PMIDs/DOIs required per QC checklist.
🟡 IMPORTANT:
4. UBERON_9920004 possible overlap with existing UBERON:0013531 (retrosplenial region) — curator decision should be documented and a cross-reference added.
5. ifj1/ifj2 correctly excluded but need follow-up with ASCTB data providers for proper naming.
🔵 SUGGESTIONS:
6. ifs1–ifs4 source labels should be retained as exact synonyms.
7. PR needs a description explaining what was added, excluded, and why.
