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: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: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:0021700
|
developmental maturation
|
A developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for an anatomical structure, cell or cellular component to attain its fully functional state. |
GO:0050793
|
regulation of developmental process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of 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: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:0051241
|
negative regulation of multicellular organismal process
|
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of an organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of an organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. |
GO:2000026
|
regulation of multicellular organismal development
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of multicellular organismal development. |
GO:0051093
|
negative regulation of developmental process
|
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of development, the biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an 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:0022404
|
molting cycle process
|
A multicellular organismal process involved in the periodic casting off and regeneration of an outer covering of cuticle, feathers, hair, horns, skin. |
GO:0042303
|
molting cycle
|
The periodic casting off and regeneration of an outer covering of cuticle, feathers, hair, horns, skin, etc. |
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:0007564
|
regulation of chitin-based cuticle tanning
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of chitin-based cuticular tanning. |
GO:0007593
|
chitin-based cuticle sclerotization
|
The process of hardening of a chitin-based cuticle. |
GO:0007591
|
molting cycle, chitin-based cuticle
|
The periodic shedding of part or all of a chitin-based cuticle, which is then replaced by a new cuticle. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. |
GO:0048086
|
negative regulation of developmental pigmentation
|
Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of the developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism. |
GO:0120305
|
regulation of pigmentation
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the deposition or modulates the distribution of coloring matter in an organism. |
GO:0048070
|
regulation of developmental pigmentation
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism. |
