description: The Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MP) classifies and organises phenotypic
  information related to the mouse and other mammalian species. This ontology has
  been applied to mouse phenotype descriptions in various databases allowing comparisons
  of data from diverse mammalian sources. It can facilitate in the identification
  of appropriate experimental disease models, and aid in the discovery of candidate
  disease genes and molecular signaling pathways.
