^aObserved number of genes and expected number of genes if probabilities of each outcome are independent of the cluster.

^bNumber of gene orothologs in each of the expression profile groups.

^cHypergeometric probability was used to obtain the P-value using fisher.test( ) in R (bioconducter.org).

^dFour groups of differentially expressed genes in relation to dormant spores were reported.

^eGenes were grouped into three clusters according to their expression profiles by K-means algorithm.

^fNumber of gene orthologs in each of the hierarchical clusters.
