KEGG contains 272 pathways of which 90 were assigned significant pathway scores by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (details in the main text). The right-most column lists the interpretations made at each horizontal step. This figure was generated using LibreOffice Impress (Version 6.0.7.3) and exported to .pdf format
