Mouse Chromosome Ontology

The Mouse Chromosome Ontology (MCO) provides simple and stable URIs for mouse reference genome versions to semantically identify mouse chromosomes.

Basic class mco:MouseChromosome is inherited by each chromosome class such as mco:2 and mco:GenomeBuild is inherited by each build version such as mco:GRCm39. Then, for example, the mouse chromosome 2 of the GRCm39 version is represented as mco:2\/GRCm39 (http://identifiers.org/mco/2/GRCm39) which is defined as an instance of mco:2 with build version mco:GRCm39. Each instance of a chromosome has links to external resources such as INSDC, RefSeq, UCSC etc. so that users can be navigated to the chromosome sequence and its annotations.
