Table 2.

The descendant counts of GO terms at depth-01 are highly skewed.

The root term, biological_process has over twenty GO children at depth-01 shown in the table sorted by their number of descendants (dcnt) with cellular process at the top having over 18,000 descendants and cell killing near the bottom having just over 100 descendants. The first column (D1 Alias) contains a letter used as an alias for each depth-01 GO term. The second column represents the total number of descendants from the specified GO term down to all of its leaf-level GO terms, which have no child GO terms. The third column, depth, shows the root term is at depth-00 and its children are at depth-01. The forth column, GO, is the ID for the term. The fifth column shows the human-readable name of the GO term. GO DAG relationships like part_of are used to count descendant counts in this table.
