1The fold enrichment is defined as the ratio of the two proportions; one is the proportion of genes in your list belong to certain pathway, and the other is the proportion of genes in the background information (i.e., universe genes) that belong to that pathway

2p values from modified Fisher’s exact test

3FDR, false discovery rate from Benjamini and Hochberg
