Average of log2 of the ratio of light vs. dark was used to calculate the fold change. SD is the standard deviations of log2 of ratio of a swap-dye experiment. The gene descriptions were determined using the Aspergillus genome database AspGD (www.aspergillusgenome.org). Hypothetical proteins have unknown function but are conserved proteins.
