Beyond genomic variation - comparison and functional annotation of three Brassica rapagenomes: a turnip, a rapid cycling and a Chinese cabbage

Table 3 Top ten GO biological processes with most genes assigned in Chiifu, turnip and rapid cycling

Only dispensable and unique genes were included in the analysis. The term “response to stress” is the most over-represented and seven out of these ten GO terms are found in Chiifu, turnip as well as rapid cycling.
