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.

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.
