5th Percentile Index

Nth gene number representing the 5th percentile for all the genes in the category. The value is zero-based and a 0.5 value means that it falls between two values

BMD at 5th Percentile

BMD at the 5th percentile for all genes in the GO category (including genes with no significant dose response)

10th Percentile Index

Nth gene number representing the 10th percentile for all the genes in the category. The value is zero-based and a 0.5 value means that it falls between two values

BMD at 10th Percentile

BMD at the 10th percentile for all genes in the GO category (including genes with no significant dose response)

Probes with Adverse Direction Up

Number of probe sets in the GO category for which the final change in expression was in the up (i.e., increased) direction

Probes with Adverse Direction Down

Number of probe sets in the GO category for which the final change in expression was in the down (i.e., decreased) direction
