Enrichment analysis of differentiation-related genes annotated with Gene Ontology (GO) terms demonstrates involvement of multiple molecular pathways and biological processes. Number (n) of regulated genes (D10/D0) is reported. P values were derived using Fisher's exact test. False discovery rate (FDR) determined by Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted P value.
