| Acronym | MICRONT |
| Visibility | Public |
| Description | microntology encompasses (in v1.0) a controlled vocabulary of 148 crosslinked terms that fall into five broad habitat categories (terrestrial, aquatic, aerial, host-associated and anthropogenic environments) and additional categories that describe broad physicochemical properties, morphology, human host properties, animal host captivity status, and miscellaneous informative features such as (chemical) contamination or ancient (paleontological) sample provenance. MICRONT is designed as a pragmatic lightweight complement to existing detailed ontologies like ENVO, UBERON or GOLD; MICRONT terms are crosslinked to these where appropriate. Its purpose is a fast, automatable annotation of (meta)genomic microbial samples with browsable informative tags. |
