  1. a: p value < 0.05 with 1.5 fold change.
  2. b: validation with quantitative qRT-PCR (lines in bold) :
  3. *: p value < 0.005, ** p value < 0.01, *** p value < 0.05, **** p value < 0.1.
  4. Microarray p-values were calculated using a t-test statistical analysis (Benjamini-Hochberg FDR) on Genespring software. Pair Wise Fixed Reallocation Randomized Test was used to calculate qRT-PCR p values with REST software.
