^aEach GO annotation includes an evidence code to indicate how the annotation to a particular term is supported. If a gene is linked to a GO annotation by two distinct evidence codes (e.g., Inferred from Direct Assay (IDA) and Inferred from Biological aspect of Ancestor (IBA)), it would be counted twice to the number of genes enriched in that gene set
