- Transcripts representing genes with known function were classified by molecular function and biological process, according to the ontological definitions of the Gene Ontology Consortium. The total numbers of known transcripts classified in this way are shown for each cluster. A statistical test for nonrandom distribution of these functional groups (taking into account the total number of transcripts in each category) was performed on each cluster using Onto-Express. All statistically significant associations (corrected P < 0.05) are listed for each cluster using the same ontological definitions used in Table 1 and available on GeNet. Additional information on the details of these significant associations and a graphical representation of all ontologies are available as Additional files 2 and 5. ECM, extracellular matrix.
