2.4 GO and pathway enrichment analyses
Hyper-geometric distribution was used in this study for GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses.13-16. GO analysis included categories of cellular components (CC), biological processes (BP), and molecular functions (MF).16 Herein, we focused on BP analysis. The pathway analysis is a functional analysis that maps genes to KEGG pathways. FDR q <0.01 was set as the cutoff point.
