Functionally important candidate genes found in All-Summer, VMN-summer, and Peak-SNV clusters. Different transcripts with the same sequence description found in both VMN and H clusters are not listed. Additionally, duplicate descriptions from multiple isoforms within each cluster type were reported only once. Genes mentioned in the text or shown in figures have gene symbols in parentheses.
