• Browsing through Terms and Gene Products

The GO browser shows all the ancestors and siblings of a term in an indented outline form, a "tree view". When you browse to a term with more than one parent term, you will see the ancestors on all the branches that contain that term.

Navigation

Each term is preceded by a+ or a -symbol.

• The + symbol indicates that a term has children that are not currently shown.
• The- symbol indicates that a term has no children or that its children are shown.

Use the+ and - symbols to view (+) or hide (-) a term's children.

As you browse around, your tree view is tracked in your browser's URL string.

Term Data

For each term, aP orI follows the+ or -symbol.

• The P indicates that the term has a "part of" relationship to the parent term.
  
• TheI indicates that the term has an "is a" relationship to the parent term.

Each term also has a[D] after the+ or - symbol. This is a link to a definition for the term, if one is available. Listed beneath the definition are functional groupings from other protein databases that would be assigned to that GO term.

The term includes aGO ID number and name.

The line for each term ends with anumber in the column row. This is the number of predicted genes in the genome that are assigned to that term. The number is a link to theGene Products page for that term.
