A total of 639 canonical pathways gene sets (http://www.broad.mit.edu/gsea/msigdb/genesets.jsp?collection=CP#; provided in the public domain by the Broad Institute, Massachusetts of Technology, Cambridge, MA) were calculated by gene set enrichment analysis.

Enrichment score (ES) reflects the degree to which a gene set is overrepresented at the top or bottom of a ranked list of genes.

False-discovery rate is the estimated probability that a gene set with a given normalized ES represents a false-positive finding.
