BioAssay Ontology

Last uploaded: February 21, 2024
Preferred Name

bioassay

Synonyms
Definitions

A set of instructions, methodology, operations, required reagents, instruments to carry out experiments for the purpose of testing the effect of a perturbing agent in a biological model system, measuring one or multiple effect(s) of the agent facilitated by an assay design method translate the perturbation into a detectable signal to arrive at one or multiple endpoint(s) that quantify or qualify the extent of the perturbation. Bioassay is described by multiple bioassay components: assay format, biology (biological participants in various role and processes), design method, physical detection method / technology, screened entity, and endpoint. Bioassay includes one or multiple measure groups to describe panel, profiling, multiparametric (or multiplexed) assays (assays that measure more than one effect of the perturbagen on the system that is screened).

The BioAssay Ontology integrates with OntoloBridge, allowing community users to suggest additions to the public ontology. Complete the template below to submit a term request directly to the ontology maintainer.

Term Label (required)
Suggested term name. If a term can be described with multiple synonyms, only list the preferred name here.
Example: tissue-based format

Term description (required)
A brief definition, description, or usage of your suggested term. Additional term synonyms may be listed in this section.
Example: Involves the use of a tissue derived from a living organism and is a heterogeneous assay type.

Superclass (required)
The parent term of the suggested term. The parent term should be an existing entry of the current ontology. The superclass can be selected directly from the 'Classes' viewer on Bioportal's left tree navigation.
Example: assay format

References (optional)
Provide evidence for the existence of the requested term such as PMIDs of papers or links to other resources that describe the term.

Justification (optional)
Provide any additional information about the requested term here.
