  1. Access # is NCBI accession number. Frequency is the number of pools of muscle (n = 10 rats per pool) showing significant expression out of a total number of 8 pools of mRNA. P-value is the median p-value of a Wilcoxon test for all 8 muscle pools. The gene was bolded and the p-value was underlined if it met the FDR criteria for being significantly detected.
