findAncestors.pl - This program returns the ancestors of a given CUI based on the configuration file.
This program returns a list of CUIs based on the sources and relations specified in the configuration file for a given CUI.
Usage: findAncestors.pl [OPTIONS] CUI
A CUI from the UMLS sources specified in the configuration file (or default source)
List of CUIs that are the ancestors of the given term
This is the configuration file. The format of the configuration file is as follows:
SAB :: <include|exclude> <source1, source2, ... sourceN> REL :: <include|exclude> <relation1, relation2, ... relationN> RELA :: <include|exclude> <rela1, rela2, .... relaN> (optional)
For example, if we wanted to use the MSH vocabulary with only the RB/RN relations, the configuration file would be:
SAB :: include MSH REL :: include RB, RN RELA :: include inverse_isa, isa
or
SAB :: include MSH REL :: exclude PAR, CHD
If you go to the configuration file directory, there will be example configuration files for the different runs that you have performed.
