Data structure	Parameter tested	Type of test	P	Figure
RNAseq data passing filter (counts per million > 1 in at least 3 samples), grouped by sample type	Gene counts	Gene by gene ANOVA-like differential abundance analysis to test for differences between any sample groups using edgeR	FDR < 0.1	Used as filter criteria in 3, and 2-1A,B. Specific values listed in 2-2, 2-3. For 2F,G a more stringent threshold of FDR < 5e−4 was used.
Two independent samples: r5 and r4 cMVST cell population, pooled normalized data from n = 3 animals.	Esrrg fluorescence intensity	Two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test	3.6e-7	7C
