aDura: dura gene expression data, Blood: blood gene expression data, Cranial: PF trait data.

b11804 gene expression probes and/or 24 posterior fossa traits (features) were used as input.

cThe gap statistic ± standard error is presented. Gap statistics with an approximate p-value less than 0.05 are shown in bold.
