## Finding terms currently in the import closure:
- Search chebi:
- `obo-grep.pl --noheader -r cysteine src/ontology/imports/chebi_import.obo`
## Advanced queries over GO
You can use OAK commands with local obo files:
`runoak -i simpleobo:src/ontology/go-edit.obo tree -p i GO:0160022`
## Finding terms in external ontologies not in the import closure
Use `runoak` on the command line using the OLS adapter plus the ontology
`runoak -i ols:chebi search cysteine`
