FYPO:0000082
sensitive to heat

Is this still a term we would use?

I thought we decided not, but I might have got confused

and if so, how would we use it, and
is this comment still correct

For fission yeast, high temperature usually corresponds to above 32 degrees Celsius. Use this term if you have assayed growth of cells exposed to heat in culture. If you have assayed the response to heat at the subcellular or molecular level, consider annotating to 'abnormal cellular response to heat' (FYPO:0000212).

    This issue has been on the "we're not sure" list on the wiki for ages:

    https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/pombase/wiki/PrePostComposePhenotype

    We haven't changed our position -- namely, that we're not sure we'll keep the heat & cold terms forever but on the other hand won't axe them yet -- in all that time. I don't think it helps to spawn more tracker tickets about it.

    duplicates long-standing issue notes on wiki (as opposed to another tracker ticket)

    What is confusing me immediately is how you would detect sensitive to heat other than
    a growth assay, so I don't understand how/when we would need this particular term.
