\title{Annotation of DO Identifiers to their Children} 
\description{
This data set describes associations between DO 
  terms and their direct children  terms, based on the directed acyclic
  graph (DAG) defined by the Disease Ontology Consortium. The format is an R
  object mapping the DO  terms to all direct children terms, where a
  direct child term is a more specific DO term that is immediately preceded
  by the given DO term in the DAG.
}
\details{
   Each DO  term is mapped to a vector of children DO  terms.

   
  Mappings were based on data provided by: Disease Ontology
  With a date stamp from the source of: 20100823 (sub_version 1689)
