OGG-CoV: Ontology representation and analysis of genes and genomes of coronaviruses

The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has brought about significant influx of coronavirus data for better disease understanding and treatment and vaccine development As such, ontologies to help categorize the massive amount of research and information being done are required The Ontology of Genes and Genomes (OGG) systematically represents genes and genomes for specific organisms OGG-CoV is a branch of OGG that provides an ontological representation of genes and genomes within different coronavirus strains and species OGG-CoV adopts a pan-genome strategy and systematically represents coronavirus genes based on their ortholog classification Copyright © 2020 for this paper by its authors
