n.c.: not calculated. p-values are the uncorrected results of a binomial test, and ***, **, and *indicate that these p-values were significant (i.e., the genus is significantly overrepresented among the genera regulated by tissue type) even after a Benjamini and Hochberg correction (corrected p < 0.001, <0.01, and <0.05, respectively).
