DAG for GO:0030217id: GO:0030217

name: T cell differentiation
namespace: biological_process
alt_id: GO:0042112
alt_id: GO:0046652
def: "The process in which a precursor cell type acquires characteristics of a more mature T-cell. A T cell is a type of lymphocyte whose definin characteristic is the expression of a T cell receptor complex." [GO_REF:0000022, GOC:jid, GOC:mah]
comment: Note that the term 'thymocyte differentiation' was merged into this term because thymocytes are T cells, and thus the term was essentially redundant. Note that immunologists typically use the word 'development' to refer to cells of B or T cell lineages undergoing the process that GO describes as 'cell differentiation'.
