For each of the shared differentially expressed gene are reported: the gene and protein names obtained from the top hit blast results against the proteome of D. rerio; whether it is up(+)- or down(−)- regulated in the EO; its function or pathway (or both when available); the phenotypic effect on D. rerio of its mis-expression (when available)
