Top-ranked GO categories (molecular function) of assembled pyrosequencing ESTs.

PB: protein with binding function or cofactor requirement (structural or catalytic), SL: subcellular localization, RM: regulation of metabolism and protein function, M: metabolism, CT: cellular transport, transport facilities and transport routes, PF: protein fate (folding, modification, destination), CC: cellular communication/signal transduction mechanism, PS: protein synthesis, TC: transcription, CD: cell cycle and DNA processing, IE: interaction with the environment, IE: energy, CR: cell rescue, defense and virulence, BC: biogenesis of cellular components, SE: systemic interaction with the environment, DE: development (systemic), CF: cell fate, OD: organ differentiation, TD: tissue differentiation, GO: gene ontology, ESTs: expressed sequence tags.
