|
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: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: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:0048066
|
developmental pigmentation
|
The developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism, tissue or cell. |
|
GO:0043473
|
pigmentation
|
The accumulation of pigment in an organism, tissue or cell, either by increased deposition or by increased number of cells. |
|
GO:0050931
|
pigment cell differentiation
|
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a pigmented cell, such as a melanocyte. |
|
GO:0030318
|
melanocyte differentiation
|
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a melanocyte. |
