Notes: Proportions of transcripts differentially expressed between depots in different gene ontology functional categories are shown (921 transcripts varied significantly between depots out of 10,983 probe sets detected by array analysis). Fisher’s exact tests were performed to measure overrepresentaiton or underrepresentation of each functional category; p values were adjusted by using false discovery rate procedure to control the number of false-positive results.
