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
