EOG8BK7JX GO:0003700 24/84 transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a specific DNA sequence in order to modulate transcription. The transcription factor may or may not also interact selectively with a protein or macromolecular complex." [GOC:curators, GOC:txnOH] EOG8BK7JX GO:0005634 24/84 nucleus cellular_component "A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent." [GOC:go_curators] EOG8BK7JX GO:0043565 23/84 sequence-specific DNA binding molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA of a specific nucleotide composition, e.g. GC-rich DNA binding, or with a specific sequence motif or type of DNA e.g. promotor binding or rDNA binding." [GOC:jl] EOG8BK7JX GO:0000976 1/84 transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a specific sequence of DNA that is part of a regulatory region that controls transcription of that section of the DNA. The transcribed region might be described as a gene, cistron, or operon." [GOC:txnOH] EOG8BK7JX GO:0007417 1/84 central nervous system development biological_process "The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the central nervous system over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The central nervous system is the core nervous system that serves an integrating and coordinating function. In vertebrates it consists of the brain and spinal cord. In those invertebrates with a central nervous system it typically consists of a brain, cerebral ganglia and a nerve cord." [GOC:bf, GOC:jid, ISBN:0582227089] EOG8BK7JX GO:0007419 1/84 ventral cord development biological_process "The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the ventral cord over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The ventral cord is one of the distinguishing traits of the central nervous system of all arthropods (such as insects, crustaceans and arachnids) as well as many other invertebrates, such as the annelid worms." [GOC:bf, GOC:go_curators, http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/S/Spemann.html] EOG8BK7JX GO:0008134 1/84 transcription factor binding molecular_function "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transcription factor, any protein required to initiate or regulate transcription." [ISBN:0198506732] EOG8BK7JX GO:0000122 1/84 negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter biological_process "Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter." [GOC:go_curators, GOC:txnOH] EOG8BK7JX GO:0007420 1/84 brain development biological_process "The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the brain over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Brain development begins with patterning events in the neural tube and ends with the mature structure that is the center of thought and emotion. The brain is responsible for the coordination and control of bodily activities and the interpretation of information from the senses (sight, hearing, smell, etc.)." [GOC:dph, GOC:jid, GOC:tb, UBERON:0000955] EOG8BK7JX GO:0007400 1/84 neuroblast fate determination biological_process "The cell fate determination process in which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a neuroblast cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus." [GOC:go_curators] EOG8BK7JX GO:0009953 1/84 dorsal/ventral pattern formation biological_process "The regionalization process in which the areas along the dorsal/ventral axis are established that will lead to differences in cell differentiation. The dorsal/ventral axis is defined by a line that runs orthogonal to both the anterior/posterior and left/right axes. The dorsal end is defined by the upper or back side of an organism. The ventral end is defined by the lower or front side of an organism." [GOC:dph, GOC:go_curators, GOC:isa_complete, GOC:tb] EOG8BK7JX GO:0010629 1/84 negative regulation of gene expression biological_process "Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression. Gene expression is the process in which a gene's coding sequence is converted into a mature gene product or products (proteins or RNA). This includes the production of an RNA transcript as well as any processing to produce a mature RNA product or an mRNA (for protein-coding genes) and the translation of that mRNA into protein. Protein maturation is included when required to form an active form of a product from an inactive precursor form." [GOC:dph, GOC:tb] EOG8BK7JX GO:0007389 1/84 pattern specification process biological_process "Any developmental process that results in the creation of defined areas or spaces within an organism to which cells respond and eventually are instructed to differentiate." [GOC:go_curators, GOC:isa_complete, ISBN:0521436125] EOG8BK7JX GO:0007398 1/84 ectoderm development biological_process "The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the ectoderm over time, from its formation to the mature structure. In animal embryos, the ectoderm is the outer germ layer of the embryo, formed during gastrulation." [GOC:dph, GOC:tb] EOG8BK7JX GO:0006357 1/84 regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter biological_process "Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter."
