[Po-dev] Re: Peripheral vein vs tertiary vein or high order vein

[Chih-Wei Tung]

Dear Jose Manuel,

Great to know you are following our discussion. I am forwarding your  
message to the group, please feel free to participate the discussion,  
so we can provide more precise ontology terms to describe your mutant  
phenotype.

Best,

Chih-Wei
