CellStructureMech

Organelles, envelope layers, appendages, microcompartments and multi-protein complexes of microbial cells — each grounded in GO cellular component where a term exists, and backed by cited evidence.

Every structure in the corpus, with its category, kind, grounding status and definition, in one filterable table.

By category

The corpus is organised by where a structure sits in the cell — envelope, appendage, microcompartment, ribonucleoprotein.

Source and schema

Records are LinkML-validated YAML under data/structures/. The schema, curation history and pipeline all live in the repository.

Categories

What each category covers, and how many records currently sit in it.

CategoryRecordsCovers
