Ontology | Term | Definition | Parent Class |
---|---|---|---|
Gene Ontology (GO) | Visual perception | The series of events required for an organism to receive a visual stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Visual stimuli are detected in the form of photons and are processed to form an image. | Sensory perception of light stimulus |
GO | Detection of visible light | The series of events in which a visible light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm. | Detection of light stimulus |
GO | Detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception | The series of events involved in visual perception in which a light stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal. | Visual perception |
GO | Determination of sensory modality | The determination of the type or quality of a sensation. Sensory modalities include touch, thermal sensation, visual sensation, auditory sensation and pain. | Sensory processing |
Mammalian Phenotype (MP) | Blindness | Loss of the sense of sight. | Abnormal vision |
MP | Abnormal vision | Inability or decreased ability to see. | Abnormal eye physiology |
MP | Decreased visual acuity | Loss of visual acuity or ability to distinguish small details | Abnormal visual acuity |
Human Disease Ontology (DOID) | Blindness | N/A | Retinal disease |
DOID | Color blindness | A blindness that is characterized by the inability or decreased ability to see color, or perceive color differences, under normal lighting conditions. | Blindness |
Human Phenotype (HP) | Blindness | Blindness is the condition of lacking visual perception due to physiological or neurological factors. | Visual Impairment |
