Table 3 Over-represented gene ontology terms for sex-biased categories (log2 fold-change < 1,-> 1) within brain-expressed genes. Significantly (p < 0.01) over-represented terms are shown in term-for-term comparisons. Subsequent adjustments with the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons are shown.
