By table headings: (Class) All loci are binned into 1 of 9 response-and-recovery classes; (Code) Classes are given a 3 letter code for convenience. (Response) The p-value and log₂ fold-change required by a locus’ response in order to qualify for the respective class. (Recovery) The p-value and log₂ fold-change required by a locus’ recovery in order to qualify for the respective class. A “no change” is indicated if the p-value is not less than or equal to 0.001. (Cartoon Representation) A cartoon diagram indicating the general expression pattern captured by the class.
