Fission Yeast GO slim terms

"GO slims" are subsets of the Gene Ontology (GO) that provide a broad overview of annotation distribution. Slims can offer a useful overview of a genome or the results of a large-scale experiment. For more information on GO slims, please see the GO Slim Guide at the Gene Ontology website.

The GO slim term set constructed for fission yeast, shown below, provides almost complete coverage of gene products annotated to biological process terms. This slim set is a good starting point for users who wish to identify terms of biological interest to create a "custom slim", or to become familiar with the genome contents. The current annotation totals link to the AmiGO browser, where you can i) access the complete lists of annotated gene products; ii) explore child terms and how annotations are distributed among slim terms and child terms; iii) use the "data source" filter to see annotated gene products in other organisms (note that in this verison of AmiGO the "species filter" is not working).
