| GO:0007411 | axon guidance | The chemotaxis process that directs the migration of an axon growth cone to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. | 214 |
| GO:0008045 | motor neuron axon guidance | The process in which the migration of an axon growth cone of a motor neuron is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. | 38 |
| GO:0048846 | axon extension involved in axon guidance | The long distance growth of a single cell process, that is involved in the migration of an axon growth cone, where the migration is directed to a specific target site by a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. | 29 |
| GO:0031290 | retinal ganglion cell axon guidance | The process in which the migration of an axon growth cone of a retinal ganglion cell (RGC) is directed to its target in the brain in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. | 28 |
| GO:0006935 | chemotaxis | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). | 24 |
| GO:0016199 | axon midline choice point recognition | The recognition of molecules at the central nervous system midline choice point by an axon growth cone; this choice point determines whether the growth cone will cross the midline. | 20 |
| GO:0042331 | phototaxis | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to light. | 17 |
| GO:0043052 | thermotaxis | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to a temperature gradient. Movement may be towards either a higher or lower temperature. | 17 |
| GO:0030260 | entry into host cell | The invasion by an organism of a cell of its host organism. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction. | 14 |
| GO:0048870 | cell motility | Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another. | 12 |
| GO:0043326 | chemotaxis to folate | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to the presence of folate. | 12 |
| GO:0001966 | thigmotaxis | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to touch. | 10 |
| GO:0033563 | dorsal/ventral axon guidance | The process in which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site along the dorsal-ventral body axis in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. 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. | 10 |
| GO:0072499 | photoreceptor cell axon guidance | The chemotaxis process that directs the migration of a photoreceptor cell axon growth cone to its target in the optic lobe in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. | 9 |
| GO:0031987 | locomotion involved in locomotory behavior | Self-propelled movement of a cell or organism from one location to another in a behavioral context; the aspect of locomotory behavior having to do with movement. | 8 |
| GO:0043056 | forward locomotion | Anterior movement of an organism, following the direction of the head of the animal. | 8 |
| GO:0060361 | flight | Self-propelled movement of an organism from one location to another through the air, usually by means of active wing movement. | 7 |
| GO:0050918 | positive chemotaxis | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a higher concentration of a chemical. | 7 |
| GO:0050919 | negative chemotaxis | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a lower concentration of a chemical. | 5 |

| GO:0046956 | positive phototaxis | The directed movement of a cell or organism towards a source of light. | 5 |
| GO:0016200 | synaptic target attraction | The process in which a neuronal cell in a multicellular organism recognizes chemoattractant signals from, and grows towards, potential targets. | 5 |
| GO:0046718 | viral entry into host cell | The process that occurs after viral attachment by which a virion, or viral nucleic acid, breaches the plasma membrane or cell envelope and enters the host cell. The process ends when the viral nucleic acid is released into the host cell cytoplasm. | 3 |
| GO:0042332 | gravitaxis | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to gravity. | 3 |
| GO:0033564 | anterior/posterior axon guidance | The process in which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site along the anterior-posterior body axis in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The anterior-posterior axis is defined by a line that runs from the head or mouth of an organism to the tail or opposite end of the organism. | 3 |
| GO:0048060 | negative gravitaxis | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism away from the source of gravity. | 3 |
