\begin{Description}\relax
This data set describes associations between GO molecular function (BP)
terms and their direct children BP terms, based on the directed acyclic
graph (DAG) defined by the Gene Ontology Consortium. The format is an R
environment mapping the GO BP terms to all direct children terms, where a
direct child term is a more specific GO term that is immediately preceded
by the given GO term in the DAG.
\end{Description}
\begin{Details}\relax
Each GO BP term is mapped to a vector of children GO BP terms.

Biological process is defined as the broad biological goals, such as
mitosis or purine metabolism, that are accomplished by ordered
assemblies of molecular functions as defined by Gene Ontology
Consortium.

Mappings were based on data provided by:
