^aThe number of GO terms detected by analysing the upregulated genes.

^bThe number of GO terms detected by analysing the downregulated genes.

^cThe number of GO terms detected by analysing all-DE genes.

^dThe number of overlapping GO terms detected by both the separate-DE strategy and all-DE strategy at the same FDR level.

^eThe number of GO terms detected by the separate-DE strategy with an FDR < 0.05 that were also detected by the all-DE strategy with a p-value < 0.05.

^fThe number of GO terms detected by the all-DE strategy with an FDR < 0.05 that were also detected by the separate-DE strategy with a p-value < 0.05.
