Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COGs) are sets of orthologous protein-coding sequences that can be used to rapidly assign functional annotations to whole genome sequences. In this article, we provide a table that contains the COG initial, its color code, and its function name.

J | #ff0000 | Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis |
A | #c2af58 | RNA processing and modification |
K | #ff9900 | Transcription |
L | #ffff00 | Replication, recombination and repair |
B | #ffc600 | Chromatin structure and dynamics |
D | #99ff00 | Cell cycle control, cell division, chromosome partitioning |
Y | #493126 | Nuclear structure |
