[VK] Actually, I missed this in my first reply. Which of the assumptions are
true:
1. You are modeling a gene g1 as an instance of the "Gene class"
2. You are modeling a gene g1 as a subclass of the "Gene class"
Your options depend on which of these is true. In fact this is one of the design
choices that has come up in designing the Parkinson's disease ontology.
