The enriched gene ontology (GO) terms in the biological process category are listed for the 11 candidate genes. The GO terms are followed by number of genes having the enriched term in the reference list (Reference), number of genes in the input list having the enriched term (Count), gene names for the genes listed in Count, and Bonferroni-corrected values.
