^aRich factor means that the ratio of the DEGs number and the number of genes have been annotated in this pathway. The greater of the Rich factor, the greater the degree of enrichment
^bThe q-value was calculated using hypergeometric test through Bonferroni Correction. Q value is corrected p value ranging from 0–1, and less Q value means greater intensiveness
^cUnigene number in each pathway
