The deepest GO in the BP branch is at depth 16, while the deepest GO in the CC branch is depth 11. The GO roots are BP (biological_process), MF (molecular_function), and CC (cellular_component). The maximum length path from the root node down to the GO node is Depth. The minimum length path is Level.
