  1. First of all, some background. Every GO term has several components, including at least:
    + #GOTermName
    + unique #GOTermIdentifier: prefix 'GO:' and 7 digits
    + definition
    + aspect: #CellularComponent, #MolecularFunction, or #BiologicalProcess
    2/8

  3. Keanumycins- a great name for a new group of antimicrobial peptides with a punch. But what happens when a brand new #MolecularFunction is discovered? Why, we create a new #GoTerm for it!
