This is a term from the OMP summary table, but I think it was decided that other terms may cover this. I would like to revisit it b/c "chromosomal guillotining," which is what some authors call it albeit not all, describes the specific act of dividing over the nucleoid. OMP:0000147 "polar nucleoid localization" doesn't capture the important part here. This new term, whether it be called "chromosomal guillotining" or not, would belong to a parent term like "cell division phenotype."
Interesting. We do not have "cell division phenotype" at present. Not creating a term at this point. We should revisit your initial comments in a developer call.
Marking as "pending" and to "discuss live".
"aberrant regulation of septation," "regulation of septation," or "aberrant chromosome DNA positioning" would also work instead of the requested term. Since it is obvious that something is wrong under the microscope and the word "guillotining" itself probably doesn't need to be used and may be a synonym instead. The only issue I have depends on whether the user knows which process has gone awry so he doesn't annotate to the wrong process. I had requested in a previous comment "cellular process phenotype" where "Septation phenotype," "Cell Division phenotype," or "Binary Fission phenotype" term could go as well (whichever word we decided to use).
