### Inherited from named thing:

 * [id](id.md)  <sub>REQ</sub>
    * Description: A unique identifier for a thing. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI

 * [in taxon](in_taxon.md)  <sub>0..*</sub>
    * Description: connects a thing to a class representing a taxon
    * range: [OrganismTaxon](OrganismTaxon.md)
    * inherited from: [ThingWithTaxon](ThingWithTaxon.md)
    * in subsets: (translator_minimal)

### Domain for slot:

 * [gene associated with condition](gene_associated_with_condition.md)  <sub>0..*</sub>
    * Description: holds between a gene and a disease or phenotypic feature that the gene or its alleles/products may influence, contribute to, or correlate with
    * range: [DiseaseOrPhenotypicFeature](DiseaseOrPhenotypicFeature.md)

 * [has gene product](has_gene_product.md)  <sub>0..*</sub>
    * Description: holds between a gene and a transcribed and/or translated product generated from it
    * range: [GeneProduct](GeneProduct.md)
    * in subsets: (translator_minimal)
