[go-friends] Final notice: obsoletion of 'GO:0009405 pathogenesis'

[Pascale Gaudet]

Dear all,

The obsoletion of 'GO:0009405 pathogenesis' will take place shortly. Again, the reason for this obsoletion is that pathogenesis does not describe a single, normal biological process; rather it is the effect of an interaction between two organisms, under specific conditions.

There are multiple other terms that can be used, and that describe better symbiont/pathogen effect on the host, including
GO:0044003 modulation by symbiont of host process
GO:0052031 modulation by symbiont of host defense response
GO:0001907 killing by symbiont of host cells

and their descendant.

Comments can be added to the ticket: https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/11057

Thanks, Pascale
