Hello,

I've been looking at the ribosomal RNA subunit terms.

"rRNA_primary_transcript" (SO:0000209)

"ribosomal RNA primary transcript" should be EXACT.

"rRNA" (SO:0000252)

Remove leading space from " ribosomal ribonucleic acid"
"ribsomal RNA" should read "ribosomal RNA"

"rRNA_5.8S" (SO:0000375)

Replace "5. 8S" with "5.8S" throughout. (Has this been introduced by OBOEdit?)

"rRNA_18S" (SO:0000407)

Add to def something like " in eukaryotes". Is it worth mentioning that the small ribosomal subunit ONLY contains rRNA_18S?

"18S rRNA" should be EXACT.
New EXACT synonym: "18S ribosomal RNA"

"rRNA_16S" (SO:0001000)

Add to def something like " in Bacteria and Archaea". Is it worth mentioning that the small ribosomal subunit ONLY contains rRNA_16S?

"16S rRNA" should be EXACT.
New EXACT synonym: "16S ribosomal RNA"

"rRNA_23S" (SO:0001001)

For consistency, do we want the definition to read

"A large polynucleotide which functions as a part of the large subunit of the ribosome."? Add " in Bacteria and Archaea"?

"23S rRNA" should be EXACT.
New EXACT synonym: "23S ribosomal RNA"

"rRNA_25S" (SO:0001002)

Definition needed: I suggest "A large polynucleotide which functions as part of the large subunit of the ribosome in some eukaryotes."

New EXACT synonym: "25S ribosomal RNA"

Best wishes,
Colin.
