By default, the groups are defined by Gene Ontology (GO), a bioinformatics initiative to unify the representation of gene and gene product attributes across various species [1, 2]. There are three main GO groups which are further divided into subgroups:

Enrichment score: negative natural logarithm of the enrichment P-value derived from the Fisher's exact test. Genes in list: number of genes that are present both in the list of significant genes and the gene set (GO category). Genes not in list: number of genes that are present in the gene set, but are not present in the list of significant genes. The column on the right contains links to gene breakdown chart and extra details |

The contingency table (Figure 5) can be displayed by selecting the View gene breakdown chart icon on the right (). The term "list" refers to the list of significant genes, while the term "set" refers to the respective GO category. The first row of the contingency table is also seen in the report, namely the Genes in list and Genes not in list columns.
