Enum: GoNamespace

Gene Ontology namespaces (aspects). GO is divided into three main namespaces representing different aspects of gene product function.

DISTRIBUTION IN DATABASE: - biological_process: 30,817 terms (64%) - what the gene product does - molecular_function: 12,805 terms (27%) - activities at molecular level - cellular_component: 4,573 terms (9%) - where the product is located - external: 1 term (cross-references)

  biological_process:
    text: biological_process
    description: Biological process (BP) - 30,817 terms describing larger processes
      accomplished by multiple molecular activities. Examples include "mitochondrion
      inheritance" (GO:0000001), "signal transduction".
  molecular_function:
    text: molecular_function
    description: Molecular function (MF) - 12,805 terms describing activities at the
      molecular level. Examples include "high-affinity zinc transmembrane transporter
      activity" (GO:0000006).
  cellular_component:
    text: cellular_component
    description: Cellular component (CC) - 4,573 terms describing locations relative
      to cellular structures. Examples include "nucleus", "plasma membrane", "mitochondrion".
  external:
    text: external
    description: External cross-references to other databases. Rarely used namespace
      for terms not in the main three aspects.
