GO:0008150 biological_process

Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end.

Term Information

ID GO:0008150
Name biological_process
Ontology Biological Process
Definition Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end.
Comment Note that, in addition to forming the root of the biological process ontology, this term is recommended for use for the annotation of gene products whose biological process is unknown. Note that when this term is used for annotation, it indicates that no information was available about the biological process of the gene product annotated as of the date the annotation was made; the evidence code ND, no data, is used to indicate this.
Secondary IDs GO:0007582, GO:0000004

QuickGO maps between different identifier types by using a combination of mapping files provided by the databases, and using identifier cross-references supplied by UniProtKB.
If more than one identifier type needs to be used to map all required sequences, drag the selected databases to change the order in which identifiers are found.
Filter annotations by protein IDs from any database:
QuickGO will map identifiers to UniProtKB accession numbers unless you have specified an alternative identifier type via the 'DB' filter box.

Qualifier:
contributes_to An individual protein that is part of a complex can be annotated to terms that describe the action of the complex. This qualifier allows us to distinguish individual subunit from complex functions e.g. This protein contributes_to 'ribosome binding' when part of a complex but does not perform this function on its own.
NOT|colocalizes_with NOT|colocalizes_with
NOT|contributes_to NOT|contributes_to
colocalizes_with Proteins that are transiently or peripherally associated with an organelle or complex may be annotated to the relevant cellular component term, using the 'colocalizes_with' qualifier.
NOT Used to make an explicit note that the protein is not associated with the GO term e.g. This protein does NOT have 'kinase activity' as expected, disrupted/missing ATP binding domain.
