In one case, the submitter chose the term 'leaf formation' (GO 0010338) and the curator replaced this with the less specific term 'leaf morphogenesis' (GO 0009965), a parent term of 'leaf formation'.
We used the much less specific term "violent extremism". As in "countering violent extremism," which is what we called much of our anti-Islamic State efforts.
The less specific term heart attack may be more desirable because of these difficulties in describing the causation of the disease entity.
Figure 3 shows an example of how a GO term, in this case 'mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation multienzyme complex' (GO 0016507), which provides quite specific information, has more taxon restrictions than the less specific term 'fatty acid beta-oxidation multienzyme complex' (GO 0036125).
Additionally, since BioSim computes the product of the probabilities of all terms shared by two proteins, a certain number of even less specific terms still increases the overall functional similarity.
This filtering removes higher order, less specific terms within a hierarchy of GO terms if all terms in the lineage of terms are enriched.
Mr. Peskov's letter makes the same argument in less specific terms, combining these "international security issues" with shared interests in stability provided by economic growth.
Among the Biological Process terms, we found, as expected, low AUC values associated with less specific terms such as "locomotion", "cellular process" and "response to stress". We also found that prediction of terms associated with "cell adhesion", "metabolic process", "transcription" and "regulation of gene expression" showed high performance.
Furthermore, while some organisms were described with very specific names (for example, "coyotes"), others questions used less specific terms (for example, "monkeys").
