  1. There were 15 Gene Ontology (GO) terms that were (statistically significantly after multiple testing correction for all 6287 analyzed GO terms) overrepresented in the 441 genes associated with SAT compared to the full pool of 30,917 genes, and 36 GO terms that were (statistically significantly after multiple testing correction for all 6287 analyzed GO terms) overrepresented in the 225 genes associated with SAT/TAT compared to the full pool of 30,917 genes, using Fisher’s exact test. In this summary table, the number of highest-level parent GO terms of these overrepresented 15 (left panel) and 36 (right panel) GO terms is shown. For the full results of all 15 and 36 GO terms, see Tables S3, S4.
