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:0048518
|
positive regulation of biological process
|
Any process that activates or increases 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:0032501
|
multicellular organismal process
|
Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. |
|
GO:0048511
|
rhythmic process
|
Any process pertinent to the generation and maintenance of rhythms in the physiology of an organism. |
|
GO:0007610
|
behavior
|
The internally coordinated responses (actions or inactions) of animals (individuals or groups) to internal or external stimuli, via a mechanism that involves nervous system activity. |
|
GO:0051240
|
positive regulation of multicellular organismal process
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of an organismal process, any of the processes pertinent to the function of an organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. |
|
GO:0051239
|
regulation of multicellular organismal process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a multicellular organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of a multicellular organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. |
|
GO:0007623
|
circadian rhythm
|
Any biological process in an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours. |
|
GO:0007622
|
rhythmic behavior
|
The specific behavior of an organism that recur with measured regularity. |
|
GO:0048512
|
circadian behavior
|
The specific behavior of an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours. |
|
GO:0042752
|
regulation of circadian rhythm
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a circadian rhythm. A circadian rhythm is a biological process in an organism that recurs with a regularity of approximately 24 hours. |
|
GO:0042749
|
regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the circadian sleep/wake cycle. |
|
GO:0042745
|
circadian sleep/wake cycle
|
The cycle from wakefulness through an orderly succession of sleep states and stages that occurs on an approximately 24 hour rhythm. |
|
GO:0022410
|
circadian sleep/wake cycle process
|
A behavioral process involved in the cycle from wakefulness through an orderly succession of sleep states and stages that occurs on an approximately 24 hour rhythm. |
|
GO:0050795
|
regulation of behavior
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of behavior, the internally coordinated responses (actions or inactions) of whole living organisms (individuals or groups) to internal or external stimuli. |
|
GO:0048520
|
positive regulation of behavior
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of behavior, the internally coordinated responses (actions or inactions) of whole living organisms (individuals or groups) to internal or external stimuli. |
|
GO:0042753
|
positive regulation of circadian rhythm
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a circadian rhythm behavior. |
|
GO:0030431
|
sleep
|
Any process in which an organism enters and maintains a periodic, readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity. Usually accompanied by physical relaxation, the onset of sleep in humans and other mammals is marked by a change in the electrical activity of the brain. |
|
GO:0045187
|
regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, sleep
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of sleep; a readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity that occurs periodically in many animals. |
|
GO:0042320
|
regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, REM sleep
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. |
|
GO:0042747
|
circadian sleep/wake cycle, REM sleep
|
A stage in the circadian sleep cycle during which dreams occur and the body undergoes marked changes including rapid eye movement, loss of reflexes, and increased pulse rate and brain activity. |
|
GO:0050802
|
circadian sleep/wake cycle, sleep
|
The part of the circadian sleep/wake cycle where the organism is asleep. |
|
GO:0045938
|
