Functional and gene network analyses of transcriptional signatures characterizing pre-weaned bovine mammary parenchyma or fat pad uncovered novel inter-tissue signaling networks during development

Table 1 Number of overall differentially expressed genes (DEG, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR ≤ 0.05) and DEG with cut-off of 1.5- and 3.0-fold difference in mRNA abundance between mammary parenchyma and fat pad from pre-weaned Holstein calves (ca. 65 d of age).

	FD¹	Number of DEG	Network eligible	Function eligible
Overall tissue effect	< 1.5	9,092
	1.5	1,478	1,098	986
Expression higher in parenchyma	1.5	736	575	517
	3.0	59
Expression higher in fat pad	1.5	742	523	469
	3.0	75

Reported also is the number of DEG eligible for network and function/pathway analysis in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis^®.
