     This data set gives mappings between GO identifiers and their
     respective terms.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each GO identifier is mapped to a 'GOTerms' object that has 6
     slots:

_G_O_I_D GO Identifier

_T_e_r_m The term for that GO id

_S_y_n_o_n_y_m Synonymous terms

_S_e_c_o_n_d_a_r_y Secondary terms that have been merged into this term

_D_e_f_i_n_i_t_i_o_n Further definition of the GO term

_O_n_t_o_l_o_g_y One of MF - molecular function, BP - biological process, or CC
     - cellular component

     All the obsolete GO terms are under the nodes "obsolete molecular
     function" (GO:0008369), "obsolete cellular component" (GO id
     GO:0008370), and "obsolete biological process" (GO:0008371). Each
     of these GO identifiers has a group of GO identifiers as their
     direct children with GO terms that were defined by GO but are
     deprecated in the current build. These deprecated GO terms were
     appended by "(obsolete)" when the data package was built. 

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
