General Information
Term cell chemotaxis ID (Ontology) GO:0060326 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The directed movement of a motile cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis).
