Results obtained for the ontology enrichment analysis approach.

Significantly enriched GO terms (EASE score < 0.01) retrieved by EASE software for the “Stringent intersection” group in this analysis (1,208 gene IDs restricted to a set of 868 well annotated differentially expressed genes recognized by Gene Symbol identifiers in DAVID). This group represents the common genes differentially expressed following chronic steroid modulation of immature gonads in rainbow trout at 0.01 and 0.1 μgEE2/L. They were retrieved from the intersection between two contrasts (CT1 and CT2) represented by a majority of fish displaying intersex gonads, after a more stringent filtration of the dataset.

本分析中针对"严格交集组"，通过EASE软件检索得到的显著富集基因本体（Gene Ontology, GO）术语（EASE评分<0.01）。该术语集对应1208个基因标识符，这些标识符被限定于868个经DAVID数据库以基因符号作为识别标识且注释完备的差异表达基因集合。该组代表的是在0.01和0.1 μgEE2/L浓度下接受长期类固醇激素调控的虹鳟未成熟性腺中，出现差异表达的共有基因。这些基因是在对数据集进行更严格的过滤后，从两个以多数个体表现出雌雄同体性腺为特征的实验对比组（CT1和CT2）的交集中检索得到的。
