GOslim categories are grouped by major Gene Ontology group. For each organ, the number of genes (n) assigned to each category is indicated along with a probability (p) that the intersection between organ markers and GOslim category occurs by chance. The total number of sequences on the chip mapped to each category is shown after each category name (All). Significant intersections are in boldface (p<0.05).
