Abstract
The anatomy of model species is described in ontologies, which are used to standardize the annotations of experimental data, such as gene expression patterns. To compare such data between species, we aim to establish homology relations between ontologies describing different species. We present a new algorithm, and its implementation in the software Homolonto, to create new relationships between anatomical ontologies, based on the homology concept. These relationships and the Homolonto software are available at "http://bgee.unil.ch/":http://bgee.unil.ch/
