AmiGO 2: Term Details for "cell cycle phase" (GO:0022403)

Accession: GO:0022403
Name: cell cycle phase
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: One of the distinct periods or stages into which the cell cycle is divided. Each phase is characterized by the occurrence of specific biochemical and morphological events. Source: GOC:mtg_cell_cycle
Comment: Note that this term should not be used for direct annotation. If you are trying to make an annotation to x phase, it is likely that the correct annotation is 'regulation of x/y phase transition' or to a process which occurs during the reported phase (i.e mitotic DNA replication for mitotic S-phase). To capture the phase when a specific location or process is observed, the phase term can be used in an annotation extension (PMID:24885854) applied to a cellular component term (with the relation exists_during) or a biological process term (with the relation happens_during).
