  1. These GO terms were selected as the 5 most significant GO terms enriched in each K-means cluster (KM) 6 to 13 with a P-value < 0.05 and a relative enrichment RE > 2. n/N: number of genes assigned with a specific GO term in the cluster (n) with regards to the number of all genes assigned with the same GO term in the 2,474 analyzed genes (N). Interesting GO terms in regard to gonad differentiation and development are underlined. Genes with GO terms in bold type are detailed in figure 6. GO categories containing fewer than 5 genes were excluded.
