  1. These 17 genes were differentially expressed between control femur and control TBT at E12/13but failed to show enrichment in any specific pathway or biological function using Ingenuity IPA analysis and GOstats package in R with current GO categories (GO.db) for confirmation. Input gene lists, and related background expression gene lists were used in IPA and GO with an ~5% FDR and no-fold change filter.
