Go functional and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of downregulated genes. Top 5 most significantly enriched GO terms and KEGG pathways of downregulated genes. The length of the bars on the -axis represents the negative logarithm of the value (-log10 ) of each pathway; higher (-log10 ) values indicate a higher significance, and lower (-log10 ) values indicate a lower significance. The GO terms and KEGG pathway names are shown on the -axis. GO MF DOWN, GO CC DOWN, and GO BP DOWN refer to GO terms enriched by downregulated genes. KEGG DOWN refers to the KEGG terms enriched by downregulated genes.
