VHOG

Vertebrate Homologous Organ Group Ontology

vHOG is a multi-species anatomical ontology for the vertebrate lineage, developed as part of the Bgee project. A mapping to species-specific anatomical ontologies is also provided. This mapping represents homology-strict relationships, in the sense of HOM:0000007 historical homology. Each mapping has been manually reviewed, and we provide confidence codes and references when available.
