Gene Ontology
Gene ontology (GO) is a bioinformatics initiative to unify the representation of gene and gene product attributes across all species. Three independent ontologies are being independently constructed: biological process, molecular function and cellular component. Gene ontology aims to to identify the shared genes and proteins between organisms to increase our understanding. [1]
Biological Process
The series of events involved in the perception of pain in which a sensory mechanical stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal.
Analysis
GO consortium was used to identify the gene ontology of NTRK1 in Homo Sapiens. 59 gene ontology associations were discovered. An example of a biological process NTRK1 is associated is the detection of mechanical stimulus involved sensory perception of pain. The events involved in the perception of pain included a sensory mechanical stimulus received by nerve cells and converted into a molecular signal. [2]
