Overview

Gene Ontology (GO) is a database of gene-level functional annotations. This specific dataset collects the biological process and activities of specific genes. The GO exists as a heirarchy, and we subset to GO terms at most 3 levels away from the biological process root.

This dataset is redistributed as part of mRNABench: https://github.com/morrislab/mRNABench

Data Format

Description of data columns:

  • target: Multihot label indicating GO terms applicable to transcript.
    The label positions correspond to: ["GO:0007267": 0, "GO:0009410": 1, "GO:0001666": 2, "GO:0007186": 3, "GO:0016477": 4, "GO:0035556": 5, "GO:0007204": 6, "GO:0001525": 7, "GO:0098609": 8, "GO:0000226": 9, "GO:0007166": 10, "GO:0006897": 11, "GO:0030154": 12, "GO:0007283": 13, "GO:0045087": 14, "GO:0030036": 15, "GO:0006914": 16, "GO:0008360": 17, "GO:0000278": 18, "GO:0002250": 19]
  • cds: Binary track which reports position of first nucleotide in each codon in CDS.
  • splice: Binary track which reports position of the 3' end of each exon, indicating splice sites.
