[Go] sporulation rearrangement

[Jane Lomax]

Hi - the PAMGO group are currently working on some terms to annotate 
higher fungi and have encountered some problems with the existing 
placement of the term 'sporulation' and its children in the graph. 
Essentially the problem is that sporulation is a child of 'cell 
differentiation' but in higher fungi spores are often multicellular or 
syncytial structures so this is a tpv. So we'd like to propose some 
changes to the existing graph to remedy this:

NOW:

developmental process
---[i] cellular developmental process
------[i] cell differentiation
---------[i] sporulation ; GO:0030435
------------[i] asexual sporulation ; GO:0030436
------------[i] sexual sporulation ; GO:0034293

PROPOSED:

developmental process
---[i] sporulation ; GO:new
------[i] cellular sporulation ; GO:0030435
------[i] multicellular or syncytial sporulation ; GO:new
---------[i] multicellular or syncytial sexual sporulation ; GO:new
---------[i] multicellular or syncytial asexual sporulation ; GO:new
------[i] sexual sporulation ; GO:new
---------[i] cellular sexual sporulation ; GO:0034293
---------[i] multicellular or syncytial sexual sporulation ; GO:new
------[i] asexual sporulation ; GO:new
---------[i] cellular asexual sporulation ; GO:0030436
---------[i] multicellular or syncytial asexual sporulation ; GO:new

developmental process
---[i] cellular developmental process
------[i] cell differentiation
---------[i] cellular sporulation ; GO:0030435
------------[i] cellular asexual sporulation ; GO:0030436
------------[i] cellular sexual sporulation ; GO:0034293

how does that sound to you single-celled fungi people?

cheers,

Jane
