Appendix 1. GO data

Thirty-nine differentially expressed genes at the 24, 48, and 96 h time points were annotated with the aid of software from the Gene Ontology Consortium (eGO Version 1.0). The GO annotations for the 39 differentially expressed RefSeq genes were common to the last three time points. The GO tool [39] has annotated genes in several model organisms that comprise three related hierarchies, including molecular functions, biological processes and cellular locations. These data are included in the file "Appendix1".

To access these data, click or select the words "GO data". This will initiate the download of a compressed (zip) archive. This file should be uncompressed with an appropriate program (the particular program will depend on your operating system). Once extracted, you will have a file that is tab delimited text. Most spreadsheet programs will import files in this format.
