Indirectly causally upstream of

Overview and Scope of Use

• The 'indirectly causally upstream of' relation is used to relate GO Biological Processes (BP) and/or GO Molecular Functions (MF) when:
  • The mechanism that relates the upstream event (MF or BP) to the downstream event (MF or BP) is understood
  • The upstream event has an effect on the execution of the downstream event
  • There is a third event that happens between the upstream event and the downstream event
  • The upstream event is causally upstream of the third event and the donwstream event is causally downstream of the third event

Annotation Usage Guidelines

• Standard Annotation (This relation should not be used for conventional annotation.)
  • • What to capture
    • What not to capture
  • Examples

• GO-CAM Annotation (This relation should not be used in GO-CAM models. Instead a more specific causal relation should be used, for example a causally upstream of relation specifying positive or negative causality.)
  • • What to capture
    • What not to capture
  • Examples

Quality Control Checks

• Annotations can be validated using a Shape Expressions (ShEx) representation of allowed relations between ontology terms.
