Description:

The generic function get-container-terms is used to find all parents of a term using the part-of hierarchy. It takes two parameters, go-handle, to preserve the session, and accession to identify the term whose parents to find. It returns a list of objects of type TERM

•   get-container-terms (go-handle-object go-handle) (accession string)
    =>  container-term-objects
    

Affected By:

None.

cl-prompt: (godb:get-container-terms mygohandle "GO:0046782")
(#<CL-GODB:TERM 2060ED1C>)

TERM-ID          9888
NAME             "viral transcription"
ACCESSION        CL-GODB::GO\:0019083

GET-CHILD-TERMS

GET-COMPONENT-TERMS

Notes:

This function finds the ids for all parents of the input accession then it checks if they are already in the hash table. If they are not, they are then added. In both cases, the "part-of" slot of the child's term object is filled with a list of references to the parents' term objects.
