^aPhenotype data are from Lipka et al. [16]. All genes are identified by COMPILE as significant at a Benjamini-Hochberg FDR of 5%. Entries in bold indicate genes identified as significant by Lipka et al. [16] at a Benjamini-Hochberg FDR of 5% (***) or of 10% (**). Manual annotation of the long non-coding RNA is in brackets. *Not identified as significant in Lipka et al. [16]
