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:0051179
|
localization
|
Any process in which a cell, a substance, or a cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported, tethered to or otherwise maintained in a specific location. In the case of substances, localization may also be achieved via selective degradation. |
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:0051640
|
organelle localization
|
Any process in which an organelle is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location. |
GO:0051234
|
establishment of localization
|
Any process that localizes a substance or cellular component. This may occur via movement, tethering or selective degradation. |
GO:0006810
|
transport
|
The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) or cellular components (such as complexes and organelles) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some agent such as a transporter or a transporter complex, a pore or a motor protein. |
GO:0005575
|
cellular_component
|
A location, relative to cellular compartments and structures, occupied by a macromolecular machine. There are three types of cellular components described in the gene ontology: (1) the cellular anatomical entity where a gene product carries out a molecular function (e.g., plasma membrane, cytoskeleton) or membrane-enclosed compartments (e.g., mitochondrion); (2) virion components, where viral proteins act, and (3) the stable macromolecular complexes of which gene product are parts (e.g., the clathrin complex). |
GO:0005622
|
intracellular anatomical structure
|
A component of a cell contained within (but not including) the plasma membrane. In eukaryotes it includes the nucleus and cytoplasm. |
GO:0110165
|
cellular anatomical structure
|
A part of a cellular organism consisting of a material entity with granularity above the level of a protein complex but below that of an anatomical system. Note that cellular organisms exclude viruses. |
GO:0051656
|
establishment of organelle localization
|
The directed movement of an organelle to a specific location. |
GO:0051649
|
establishment of localization in cell
|
Any process, occurring in a cell, that localizes a substance or cellular component. This may occur via movement, tethering or selective degradation. |
GO:0051641
|
cellular localization
|
A cellular localization process whereby a substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location within a cell including the localization of substances or cellular entities to the cell membrane. |
GO:0046907
|
intracellular transport
|
The directed movement of substances within a cell. |
GO:0022414
|
reproductive process
|
A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. |
GO:0019953
|
sexual reproduction
|
A type of reproduction that combines the genetic material of two gametes (such as a sperm or egg cell or fungal spores). The gametes have an haploid genome (with a single set of chromosomes, the product of a meiotic division) and combines with one another to produce a zygote (diploid). |
GO:0007097
|
nuclear migration
|
The directed movement of the nucleus to a specific location within a cell. |
GO:0051647
|
nucleus localization
|
Any process in which the nucleus is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location within the cell. |
GO:0007338
|
single fertilization
|
The union of male and female gametes to form a zygote. |
GO:0009566
|
fertilization
|
The union of gametes of opposite sexes during the process of sexual reproduction to form a zygote. It involves the fusion of the gametic nuclei (karyogamy) and cytoplasm (plasmogamy). |
GO:0035046
|
pronuclear migration
|
The directed movement of the male and female pronuclei towards each other prior to their fusion. |
