Ontology: Biological Process (GO:0006413)
Definition: The process preceding formation of the peptide bond between the first two amino acids of a protein. This includes the formation of a complex of the ribosome, mRNA, and an initiation complex that contains the first aminoacyl-tRNA.
Synonyms: biopolymerisation; biopolymerization; protein synthesis initiation; translation initiation

This table lists the methods used to annotate genes either directly to the term
translational initiation (48 genes)
or to its variants containing one or more
qualifiers (0 genes). Note that some genes may have been annotated by more than one method so the numbers in the table below may not add up to the totals given here.
