GOCCOFFSPRING {GO} | R Documentation

## Annotation of GO Identifiers to their Cellular Component Offspring

### Description

This is an R environment (hash table) mapping GO ids to all the GO ids of their offspring based on the cellular component (CC) GO terms. Offspring are defined as the direct or indirect children/grand children nodes of a given node for a GO id based on the directed acyclic graph defined by Gene Ontology Consortium. GO terms for offspring nodes are more specific than that of the parent.

### Details

GO ids are keys and the corresponding offspring GO ids are values. Values are vectors of GO ids for all the offspring of the key GO id. GO ids that do not have any offspring node are assigned NA as the value.

Cellular component is defined as the subcellular structures, locations, and macromolecular complexes; examples include nucleus, telomere, and origin recognition complex as defined b y Gene Ontology Consortium.

Mappings were based on data provided:

### Examples

      require("GO", character.only = TRUE) || stop("GO unavailable")
      # Convert the environment object to a list
      xx <- as.list(GOCCOFFSPRING)
      # Remove GO ids that do not have any offspring
      xx <- xx[!is.na(xx)]
      if(length(xx) > 0){
        # Get the offspring GO ids for the first two elents of xx
        goids <- xx[1:2]
      }
