GET ontology/descendants/:id

Find all the terms descended from a given term. By default searches are conducted within the namespace of the given identifier

Parameters

Required

Name	Type	Description	Default	Example Values
id	`String`	An ontology term identifier	`-`	`GO:0005667`

Optional

Name	Type	Description	Default	Example Values
callback	`String`	Name of the callback subroutine to be returned by the requested JSONP response. Required ONLY when using JSONP as the serialisation method. Please see the user guide.	`-`	`randomlygeneratedname`
closest_term	`Boolean`	If true return only the closest terms to the specified term	`-`	`-`
ontology	`String`	Filter by ontology. Used to disambiguate terms which are shared between ontologies such as GO and EFO	`-`	`GO`
subset	`String`	Filter terms by the specified subset	`-`	`goslim_generic` `goslim_metagenomics`
zero_distance	`Boolean`	Return terms with a distance of 0	`-`	`-`
