Table 1 Functional groups of genes differentially expressed between hosts.

From: Gene expression analysis indicates extensive genotype-specific crosstalk between the conjugative F-plasmid and the E. coli chromosome

  1. Number and average fold-change of genes, up-regulated in DH5α relative to MG1655 (right two columns) and number and average absolute fold-change of genes up-regulated in MG1655 relative to DH5α (left two columns).
  2. *affected amino acids: isoleu/val, gly, try, phe, arg, asp, tyr, thr/ser.
  3. # average among regulatory units within given functional group,
  4. a): higher expression in MG1655 b): higher expression in DH5α.
