  1. aGene Ontology domains: BP (biological process) and MF (molecular function).
  2. bThe proportion of illicit drugs' target genes belong to a given GO Slim term among the 73 illicit drugs' target genes.
  3. cThe proportion of non-illicit drugs' target genes belong to a given GO Slim term among the 1235 non-illicit drugs' target genes.
  4. dp-value was calculated by Fisher's exact test.
