In molecular biology and genetics, DNA annotation or genome annotation is the process of describing the structure and function of the components of a genome, by analyzing and interpreting them in orde
An example Gene Ontology (GO) ancestor chart organized as a directed acyclic graph taken from QuickGO. It shows the molecular functions, biological processes, and cellular components in which the matrilin complex, a component of the extracellular matrix, is involved. Every box is an ontology term that falls into one of the three GO categories and is color-coded respectively. Ontology terms are related to each other through specific qualifiers (such as "is a", "part of", etc.), which are represented by different kinds of arrows.
