  1. * reference list, that is all genes number related to the GO pathway;
  2. # down-expressed genes number in this study;
  3. $ expected minimum genes number for activating of signal pathway.
  4. Based on the gene ontology (GO) biological process, the GO pathway, which has theoretically significant activation (p < 1.0E-03), related to down-regulated genes.
