Numbers are the numbers of up-regulated probe sets in each comparison. P values (in parentheses) are from χ2 tests of departure from expected numbers in each GO category, based on the frequency of probe sets in each category on the GeneChip. Italics denote fewer up-regulated probe sets than expected by chance; bold denotes more up-regulated probe sets than expected by chance. NA, not applicable.
