Download sequences for selected ontology term

Sequences will be selected using relationships within the Antibiotic Resistance Ontology, which may reflect simple membership (is_a) or biological processes such as regulation (regulates), evolution (derives_from), sub-units in protein complexes (part_of), drug targets (targeted_by, targeted_by_drug), or drug resistance (confers_resistance_to, confers_resistance_to_drug). In addition, AMR genes are part_of resistance mechanisms. For example, is_a can be used to download all TEM beta-lactamases but is_a and part_of used to download all efflux proteins, including sub-units. Adding regulates to an efflux search would additionally include regulatory proteins. At minimum, we recommend use of is_a and part_of for most downloads.
