biological_process
|
A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |
GO:0065007
|
biological regulation
|
Any process that modulates a measurable attribute of any biological process, quality or function. |
GO:0050794
|
regulation of cellular process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
GO:0050789
|
regulation of biological process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
GO:0048519
|
negative regulation of biological process
|
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
GO:0048523
|
negative regulation of cellular process
|
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
GO:0007275
|
multicellular organism development
|
The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a multicellular organism over time from an initial condition (e.g. a zygote or a young adult) to a later condition (e.g. a multicellular animal or an aged adult). |
GO:0032501
|
multicellular organismal process
|
Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. |
GO:0032502
|
developmental process
|
A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. |
GO:0048856
|
anatomical structure development
|
The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an anatomical structure from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the structure and ends with the mature structure, whatever form that may be including its natural destruction. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. |
GO:0009653
|
anatomical structure morphogenesis
|
The process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. |
GO:0048646
|
anatomical structure formation involved in morphogenesis
|
The developmental process pertaining to the initial formation of an anatomical structure from unspecified parts. This process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure and ends when the structural rudiment is recognizable. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. |
GO:0048731
|
system development
|
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an organismal system over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of organs or tissues that work together to carry out a given biological process. |
GO:0048869
|
cellular developmental process
|
A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. |
GO:0030154
|
cell differentiation
|
The cellular developmental process in which a relatively unspecialized cell, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cell, acquires specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize a specific cell. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. |
GO:0048513
|
animal organ development
|
Development of a tissue or tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Development pertains to the process whose specific outcome is the progression of a structure over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that work together to perform a specific function or functions. |
GO:0048870
|
cell motility
|
Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another. |
GO:0016477
|
cell migration
|
The controlled self-propelled movement of a cell from one site to a destination guided by molecular cues. |
GO:0007399
|
nervous system development
|
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of nervous tissue over time, from its formation to its mature state. |
GO:0022008
|
neurogenesis
|
Generation of cells within the nervous system. |
GO:0040011
|
locomotion
|
Self-propelled movement of a cell or organism from one location to another. |
GO:0042063
|
gliogenesis
|
The process that results in the generation of glial cells. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. |
GO:0007417
|
central nervous system development
|
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the central nervous system over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The central nervous system is the core nervous system that serves an integrating and coordinating function. In vertebrates it consists of the brain and spinal cord. In those invertebrates with a central nervous system it typically consists of a brain, cerebral ganglia and a nerve cord. |
