Causally upstream of, positive effect
Overview and Scope of Use
- The 'causally upstream of, positive effect' relation is used to relate GO Biological Processes (BP) and/or GO Molecular Functions (MF) when:
- the mechanism that relates the upstream process (BP or MF) to the downstream process (BP or MF) is understood
- the activities of the gene products in the upstream process occur before events in the downstream process
- in order for the downstream process to occur normally, the upstream process needs to occur
- Domain- Domain refers to the ontology terms that can be further specified with the relation.
- Any biological process
- Any molecular function
- Range- Range describes the ontology terms that can be used to further specify the domain using the relation.
- Any biological process
- Any molecular function
Annotation Usage Guidelines
- Standard Annotation
- Usage Examples
- This relation should not be used for conventional annotations. To capture this information, curators should create a GO_CAM model in the Noctua tool.
- Usage Examples
- GO-CAM Annotation
- Usage Examples
- A peptidase activity that processes a signaling ligand.
- Usage Examples
Ontology Usage Guidelines
- This relation is not used in the ontology.
Quality Control Checks
- Annotations can be validated using a Shape Expressions (ShEx) representation of allowed relations between ontology terms.
