Table describes second level GO terms found to be significantly different via t-test analysis. GO term densities are mean values normalized with respect to gene content. To be considered statistically significant, the p-value must be less than 0.00625 (Bonferroni corrected). QTL category describes the QTL group from which the terms where found in abundance.
