Any process that modulates a measurable attribute of any biological process, quality or function. |
GO:0050794
|
regulation of cellular process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
GO:0050789
|
regulation of biological process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
GO:0048523
|
negative regulation of cellular process
|
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
GO:0048519
|
negative regulation of biological process
|
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. |
GO:0023052
|
signaling
|
The entirety of a process in which information is transmitted within a biological system. This process begins with an active signal and ends when a cellular response has been triggered. |
GO:0044700
|
single organism signaling
|
A signaling process occurring within a single organism. |
GO:0023051
|
regulation of signaling
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a signaling process. |
GO:0010646
|
regulation of cell communication
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell communication. Cell communication is the process that mediates interactions between a cell and its surroundings. Encompasses interactions such as signaling or attachment between one cell and another cell, between a cell and an extracellular matrix, or between a cell and any other aspect of its environment. |
GO:0044707
|
single-multicellular organism process
|
A biological process occurring within a single, multicellular organism. |
GO:0032501
|
multicellular organismal process
|
Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. |
GO:0044767
|
single-organism developmental process
|
A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition, involving only one organism. |
GO:0048856
|
anatomical structure development
|
The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an anatomical structure from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the structure and ends with the mature structure, whatever form that may be including its natural destruction. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. |
GO:0065008
|
regulation of biological quality
|
Any process that modulates a qualitative or quantitative trait of a biological quality. A biological quality is a measurable attribute of an organism or part of an organism, such as size, mass, shape, color, etc. |
GO:0048869
|
cellular developmental process
|
A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. |
GO:0050793
|
regulation of developmental process
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of development, the biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a multicellular organism over time from an initial condition (e.g. a zygote, or a young adult) to a later condition (e.g. a multicellular animal or an aged adult). |
GO:0048468
|
cell development
|
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. |
GO:0048731
|
system development
|
