Selected genes whose expression profile respond to hyperbranching in ΔracA (this work) and ramosa-1[25]. Genes are ordered into different processes and functions.

Genes up-regulated are indicated with ↑, genes down-regulated with ↓. Differential gene expression was evaluated by moderated t-statistics using the Limma package [82] with a FDR threshold at 0.05 [83]. Identical ORFs which are differentially expressed in both ΔracA and ramosa-1 are indicated in bold. Fold changes and statistical significance is given in Additional file 1 and 2.*: Protein functions were predicted based on information inferred from the Saccharomyces genome data base SGD (http://www.yeastgenome.org/) and the Aspergillus genome database AspGD (http://www.aspergillusgenome.org/).
