The table describes fine detail GO terms found to be significantly over represented through hypergeometric analysis. In bold are the QTL categories from which the subsequent terms were found to be in abundance. Population frequency describes the frequency of the occurrence of the GO code genome wide. QTL/Population describes the ratio of the frequency of a GO code within a QTL region compared to the frequency of that GO code genome wide.
