The Gene Ontologies





There are currently three gene ontologies, described in this table:


Molecular Function
Ontology
the tasks performed by individual gene products; examples are transcription factor and DNA helicase
 
Biological Process
Ontology
broad biological goals, such as mitosis or purine metabolism, that are accomplished by ordered assemblies of molecular functions
 
Cellular Component
Ontology
subcellular structures, locations, and macromolecular complexes; examples include nucleus, telomere, and origin recognition complex
