  1. Distribution of annotated candidate genes in gene ontology (GO) terms corresponding to the categories "biological process", "molecular function" and "cellular component" using FatiGO. Genes are distributed in a non-exclusive manner (i.e. a given gene might be associated with more than one GO term). The percentage of genes related to each GO term is shown. R: "Regulation of". A: "Activity".
