GXO is a top-level ontology to represent ontological modeling of experimental genetics world. GXO is developed based on the latest top-level ontology, Yet Another Top-lovel Ontology (YATO) to bridge itself with the biological domains, especially dealing with experimental genetics.GXO incorporates formal modeling of broad-ranged concepts such as trait and phenotype descriptions as well as representation of experimental design, results, and genetics, including proper and explicit definitions of genetic concepts and modeling in which a gene is a design plan for one or multiple gene products written using a molecular symbol. This semantic framework will facilitate the development of domain ontologies and integrated databases in the biomedical field to provide one of the guidelines for the formalization of common data structure.
