List of genes whose expression is significantly regulated by RA treatment at one or more time point. Statistical significance is determined by SAM with a false discovery rate of 10%, and a minimum fold change of 1.5. Average fold changes across six replicates are reported for significant changes only. Gene IDs (first column) are linked to search pages at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

List of genes whose expression is significantly different between the melan-a and B16 cell lines. Statistical significance is determined by SAM with a false discovery rate of 10% and a minimum fold change of 1.5. Average fold changes across six replicates are reported. Gene IDs (first column) are linked to search pages at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Classification of 203 Gene Set Members According to Gene Ontology Biological Processes. Processes were ranked by p-value which is the Holm-Bonferroni adjusted probability of a random set of 203 genes containing at least the stated representation in the Pathway Studio database. The number of members within each process that are expressed lower in melan-a, higher in melan-a and the total number of members are provided in columns 2, 3 and 4 respectively.

Members of 203 gene set which are components of the major biological processes. Using Pathway Studio, we identified biological processes which were enriched for members of the 203 gene set. Members of the five processes that are most significantly enriched according to Fisher's Exact Test are given.
