The Kidney Tissue Atlas Ontology (KTAO) is an ontology that integrates kidney-related cell types, cell states, locations, gene markers, disease, etc., and their relations.
KTAO is developed to support the NIH-NIDDK-funed Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP, http://kpmp.org). The KTAO development is also supported by the KPMP project.
This GitHub website is the home page of KTAO.
Note: KTAO is developed simultaneously with the community-based [Ontology of Precision Medicine and Investigation (OPMI)] (https://github.com/OPMI/opmi). KTAO and OPMI are complementary with each other. OPMI includes many precision medicine-related terms that are general and can be used in KTAO and beyond KTAO. KTAO is developed with more kidney-specific information. To support kidney-specific KPMP tasks, KTAO also imports related terms from OPMI.
