  1. The null hypothesis H0: μ Ai = μ Bi was evaluated for N genes with respect to contrasts α and β (see text). With respect to each contrast individually, genes are either upregulated, downregulated, or H0 is not rejected. With respect to both contrasts α and β, therefore, all N genes are classified into one of nine categories. The number of genes assigned to each category is indicated by the values of n given in the table.
