Biological processes are processed through protein-protein or molecular interactions, which usually have similar functions.
The top 3 biological processes were metabolic processes, regulation of biological processes, and response to stimulus.
The major biological processes were 'cellular process' and 'metabolic process', such as GO 0016053 and GO 0009064.
The top three biological processes were metabolic processes (20%), cellular processes (18%) and response to stimuli (12%).
The most represented biological processes were "cellular physiological process" (25.0%) and "metabolic process" (15.0%).
Overrepresented biological processes were glycolysis and several other metabolic processes.
Amongst the most common GO categories representing biological processes were: metabolic process (n = 315), developmental process (n = 288), multicellular organismal process (n = 271), cellular process (n = 295) and growth (n = 184).
These results obviously showed that chiefly enriched proteins for the identified mitochondrial DEPs were oxidoreducition-related proteins and chiefly enriched biological processes were oxidoreducition-related processes.
Of these nDNA-encoded genes, the top enriched biological processes were "RNA metabolic processes" and "transcription DNA template" (supplementary table S6, Supplementary Material online).
Significantly dysregulated biological processes were grouped as cell cycle process, retina-specific gene expression, and signal transduction.
Homologues proteins involved in biological processes were attributed to metabolic processes, cellular processes, responses to stimulus, biological regulations, and cellular components organisation or biogenesis.
