GOstat analysis of either the 74 genes that are down-regulated in fed dHNF4 mutants compared to fed control larvae (Supplemental Table 3) or the 197 genes that are down-regulated in starved dHNF4 mutants compared to starved control larvae (Supplemental Table 5). The top twelve GO categories are listed, from top to bottom, along with the number of affected genes in that category, the total number of genes in that category in parentheses, and the p-value of the match (http://gostat.wehi.edu.au/cgi-bin/goStat.pl).
