GO:0032502
|
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. |
GO:0030154
|
cell differentiation
|
The process in which relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. |
GO:0009987
|
cellular process
|
Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
GO:0044763
|
single-organism cellular process
|
Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, occurring within a single organism. |
GO:0044699
|
single-organism process
|
A biological process that involves only one organism. |
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. |
GO:0065007
|
biological regulation
|
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:0048522
|
positive regulation of cellular process
|
Any process that activates or increases 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:0048518
|
positive regulation of biological process
|
Any process that activates or increases 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: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: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:0051094
|
positive regulation of developmental process
|
Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of development, the biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an 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:0045595
|
regulation of cell differentiation
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell differentiation, the process in which relatively unspecialized cells acquire specialized structural and functional features. |
GO:0045597
|
positive regulation of cell differentiation
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell differentiation. |
GO:0048066
|
developmental pigmentation
|
The developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism, tissue or cell. |
GO:0043473
|
pigmentation
|
The accumulation of pigment in an organism, tissue or cell, either by increased deposition or by increased number of cells. |
GO:0050931
|
pigment cell differentiation
|
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a pigmented cell, such as a melanocyte. |
GO:0050932
|
regulation of pigment cell differentiation
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of pigmented cell differentiation. |
GO:0048070
|
regulation of developmental pigmentation
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism. |
GO:0050942
|
positive regulation of pigment cell differentiation
|
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of pigment cell differentiation. |
GO:0048087
|
positive regulation of developmental pigmentation
|
Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism. |
GO:0048773
|
erythrophore differentiation
|
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of an erythrophore cell. Erythrophores are pigment cells derived from the neural crest. They contain pteridine and/or carotenoid pigments in structures called pterinosomes or erythrosomes. This gives them an orange to red appearance. |
GO:0048778
|
regulation of erythrophore differentiation
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of erythrophore differentiation. |
