Notes

  • This field should describe the type of biological object as defined by the contributing database. For example, WormBase identifiers represent genes, PomBase identifiers represent protein-coding genes, and SGD identifiers represent proteins.
  • GO does not allow 'gene' and 'gene product' as biological entity types, as this does not allow to differentiate between proteins and ncRNAs products.
