Part of relation
(Redirected from Part of)
Overview and Scope of Use
- 'part of' is used in several different contexts in GO annotations.
Relating Processes (MF to BP and BP to BP)
- 'part of' is used to link MF to BP when:
- the MF is an integral step in the process, i.e. it is either the first, last, or intervening MF in a process
- 'part of' is used to link BP to BP when:
- one process is a subprocess of a larger process, e.g. cytokinesis is 'part of' mitotic cell cycle
Relating Anatomical Entities
- 'part of' is used to link anatomical entities when:
- one anatomical entity is fully contained within another anatomical entity, e.g. nucleus is 'part of' hepatocyte
Relating Gene Products to Protein-containing Complexes
- 'part of' is used to link gene products to protein-containing complexes when:
- the gene product is an integral component of the protein-containing complex
Annotation Usage Guidelines
GO-CAM Modeling
- What to capture:
- In GO-CAM modeling, 'part of' is used to link:
- Molecular Function to Biological Process
- Biological Process to Biological Process
- Anatomical Entity to Anatomical Entity (note that Anatomical Entity includes GO Cellular Component)
- In GO-CAM modeling, 'part of' is used to link:
Gene Product to Term
- What to capture:
- In standard GO annotation, 'part of' is used to link:
- Genes or gene products to protein-containing complexes (GO:0032991 or children)
- In standard GO annotation, 'part of' is used to link:
- What not to capture:
- To annotate gene products to cellular anatomical entities or virion components, use 'located in' or 'is active in', not 'part of'.
Annotation Extensions
- What to capture:
- In annotation extensions, like GO-CAM modeling, 'part of' is used to link:
- Molecular Function to Biological Process
- Biological Process to Biological Process
- Anatomical Entity to Anatomical Entity (note that Anatomical Entity includes GO Cellular Component)
- In annotation extensions, like GO-CAM modeling, 'part of' is used to link:
Ontology Usage Guidelines
- In the ontology, 'part of' is used to link:
- Molecular Function to Biological Process
- Biological Process to Biological Process
- Cellular Component to Cellular Component
