Table 5.

The number of gene changes detected across the sample types, normal vs. tumour, tumour vs. F1 and triple comparison of normal vs. tumour vs. F1. All gene changes reported were statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05). Genes that were 2-fold or greater increased were investigated further.

Comparison	Criteria p ≤ 0.05	Number of Genes Changed
Normal vs. tumour	1.5-fold increase	1019
	2-fold increase	413
	1.5-fold decrease	394
	2-fold decrease	116
Tumour vs. F1	1.5-fold increase	1670
	2-fold increase	491
	1.5-fold decrease	2145
	2-fold decrease	1312
Normal vs. tumour vs. F1	1.5-fold increase	274
	2-fold increase	89
	1.5-fold decrease	94
	2-fold decrease	33
Normal vs. tumour vs. F1	1.5-fold increase in T (vs. N) and 1.5-fold decrease in F1 (vs. T)	147
	1.5-fold decrease in T (vs. N) and 1.5-fold increase in F1 (vs. T)	9
