| Identifier | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GO:0009987 | cellular process | Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
| GO:0008150 | 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: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:0023052 | signaling | The entirety of a process in which information is transmitted within a biological system. This process begins with an active signal and ends when a cellular response has been triggered. |
| GO:0007154 | cell communication | Any process that mediates interactions between a cell and its surroundings. Encompasses interactions such as signaling or attachment between one cell and another cell, between a cell and an extracellular matrix, or between a cell and any other aspect of its environment. |
| 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: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:0007267 | cell-cell signaling | Any process that mediates the transfer of information from one cell to another. This process includes signal transduction in the receiving cell and, where applicable, release of a ligand and any processes that actively facilitate its transport and presentation to the receiving cell. Examples include signaling via soluble ligands, via cell adhesion molecules and via gap junctions. |
| GO:0045165 | cell fate commitment | The cellular developmental process by which a cell establishes the intrinsic character of a cell or tissue region irreversibly committing it to a particular fate. |
| GO:0048699 | generation of neurons | The process in which nerve cells are generated. This includes the production of neuroblasts and their differentiation into neurons. |
| GO:0030182 | neuron differentiation | The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron. |
| 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:0048663 | neuron fate commitment | The process in which the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a neuron. |
| GO:0031128 | developmental induction | A developmental process involving two tissues in which one tissue (the inducer) produces a signal that directs cell fate commitment of cells in the second tissue (the responder). |
| GO:0045168 | cell-cell signaling involved in cell fate commitment | Signaling at long or short range between cells that results in the commitment of a cell to a certain fate. |
| 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. |
| GO:0021510 | spinal cord development | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the spinal cord over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The spinal cord primarily conducts sensory and motor nerve impulses between the brain and the peripheral nervous tissues. |
| GO:0021953 | central nervous system neuron differentiation | The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron whose cell body resides in the central nervous system. |
| GO:0021517 | ventral spinal cord development | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the ventral region of the spinal cord over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The neurons of the ventral region of the mature spinal cord participate in motor output. |
| GO:0021515 | cell differentiation in spinal cord | The process in which relatively unspecialized cells acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells of the spinal cord. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate. |
| GO:0021522 | spinal cord motor neuron differentiation | The process in which neuroepithelial cells in the ventral neural tube acquire specialized structural and/or functional features of motor neurons. Motor neurons innervate an effector (muscle or glandular) tissue and are responsible for transmission of motor impulses from the brain to the periphery. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate. |
| GO:0021523 | somatic motor neuron differentiation | The process in which neuroepithelial cells in the neural tube acquire specialized structural and/or functional features of somatic motor neurons. Somatic motor neurons innervate skeletal muscle targets and are responsible for transmission of motor impulses from the brain to the periphery. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate. |
| GO:0031129 | inductive cell-cell signaling | Signaling at short range between cells of different ancestry and developmental potential that results in one cell or group of cells effecting a developmental change in the other. This is often done by secretion of proteins by one cell which affects the neighboring cells and causes them to adopt a certain fate. |
