  1. αGene ontology (GO) pathway identities for biological processes and βnumber of probes represented on the 4 × 44K human genome array per GO group of directly associated proteins is shown (note: one gene may be represented by different or redundant probes on the array). γFDR (q-value) at significance level p < 0.25 (25%) was determined by bootstrapping following SAFE analysis. δThe table shows partial listing of representative significant εGO categories associated with biological processes (30 among 99). UPS is ubiquitin/proteasome system, PTM is post-translational modification, and ER is endoplasmic reticulum.
