Table 2 Similar biological processes according to the ontology. Biological process pairs most similar according to the ontology while dissimilar (similar less than average) according to the literature. Slit (literature-based similarity); Scd (Czekanowski-Dice similarity); Slin (Lin similarity); CG (number of genes co-annotated). Total number of genes annotated with each biological process term is shown in brackets.
