  1. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment for conserved genes between HD networks. Genes were analyzed using DAVID and the over-represented GO-terms are shown. The first number in brackets after the GO-term is the respective fold enrichment, the second number the adjusted P-value, as determined by DAVID. All significantly enriched (adjusted P <0.05) GO-terms are shown. In cases where no significantly enriched GO-term was identified, the GO-term with the highest fold enrichment is shown. Potential regulators of a module were identified using 1GO-Elite, or 2WebGestalt. Adjusted P-values are given in brackets after the name.
