Misregulation of sporulation genes in Δget3
| Class | No. genes up in Δget3 | No. genes in class | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metabolic | 2 | 51 | 0.39 |
| Early I | 7 | 61 | 9.87E-04 |
| Early II | 5 | 56 | 0.013 |
| Early–mid | 4 | 86 | 0.19 |
| Middle | 18 | 156 | 9.83E-08 |
| Mid–late | 3 | 58 | 0.19 |
| Late | 2 | 9 | 0.022 |
| Sporulation | 41 | 477 | 3.40E-12 |
The numbers of genes upregulated during each stage of sporulation (as defined by Chu et al. 1998) and in Δget3 are listed. P-values for significance of overlap were determined using Fisher's exact test.
