How to collaborate with the HPO

 

We welcome the participation of interested colleagues. We anticipate that the structure of the HPO will continue to be refined and completed for some time to come. Groups or persons with expert knowledge in a particular domain of human phenotyping in a medical genetics setting are invited to contribute their knowledge on a collaborative basis. Please contact Peter Robinson to discuss details.

 

We are currently transitioning from annotations dervied in a semiautomated fashion from the OMIM database to curated annotations. Given the number of human hereditary diseases, this is no small task. We greet participation of colleagues with an interest in specific hereditary diseases to improve the annotations for 'their' disease. Please get in contact with us (Peter Robinson) to discuss this form of collaboration. We are also preparing an online form for manual annotations.

 

A mailing list devoted to the HPO is hosted on the on the OBO Foundry site.
