- the Gene Ontology
- GO website
- controlled vocabulary
- a set of selected terms—words and phrases—in which each concept is carefully defined to ensure it is unambiguous and used consistently. Concepts are described using only one term in the set and each term in the set describes only one concept.
- ontology
- blah blah blah
- GO term
- A biological concept in one of three domains: cellular component, molecular function or biological process. GO terms consist of a GO ID, in the form GO:nnnnnnn, and a term string. The majority of GO terms have a textual definition, and many have synonyms, database cross-references and/or a comment.
- GO database
- Consists of the ontology itself and annotation data
- gene product
- the shorthand used by the Gene Ontology project to refer to genes and the products of genes, such as proteins or functional RNAs
- annotation or association
- A piece of information linking a gene product to a GO term. Has four main parts: gene product, GO term, evidence code and reference
- documentation
- association qualifier
- The Qualifier column is used for flags that modify the interpretation of an annotation. Allowable values are NOT, contributes_to, and colocalizes_with.
- documentation
- relationship
- documentation
- GO slim
- Cut-down versions of the GO ontologies containing a subset of the terms in the whole GO. They give a broad overview of the ontology content without the detail of the specific fine grained terms.
- documentation
- synonym type
- documentation
- evidence code
- a shorthand code to describe the proof for a GO annotation
- evidence code documentation
- assigned by
- Refers to the database that created the annotation
- documentation
- relation
- aka relationship type.
