_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Returns the list of all direct children (= more specific terms one
     hierarchy level down) associated to each GO term. The type of
     relationship between GO terms ("is a" or "part of") is ignored.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     getChildren()

_V_a_l_u_e:

     List with entry names for each GO term. Each entry contains a
     character vector with the direct children GO terms.

_N_o_t_e:

     The result is computed within the currently set ontology
     ("BP","MF","CC"). It directly uses the "GO" library to compute the
     result.
