The most overrepresented biological functions (n≥10 molecules) from an enrichment analysis (Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software) of genes differentially expressed as a result of maternal exposure to predation risk.

# molecules = the number of unique RNA molecules (i.e. differentially expressed genes) associated with a function within the IPA database; p-value = the enrichment p-value for the function; Sample molecules = a sample of genes associated with the function that were differentially expressed in maternally-stressed embryos compared to embryos of control mothers in the direction of regulation expected for association with the biological function.

分子数（molecules）：指Ingenuity通路分析（IPA）数据库中与某一生物学功能相关的独特RNA分子（即差异表达基因（differentially expressed genes））的数量；P值（p-value）：对应该生物学功能的富集分析P值；样本分子（Sample molecules）：指在母体应激胚胎与对照母体胚胎的对比实验中，与该功能相关、且其调控方向符合该生物学功能预期关联方向的差异表达基因样本子集。
