  1. Unigenes were grouped according to Figure 1. The functional categories were assigned according to the MIPS functional catalog as a) top level categories and b) second level categories within the metabolism category. The values in parentheses correspond to the total number of Unigenes observed in each category. The last column corresponds to the relative percentage within each category of all 13,622 Unigenes present on the Vitis Genechip® genome array. Typefaces indicate functional categories that are significantly over- (bold) or under- (italic) represented when ompared to the overall distribution of all 13,622 Unigenes using a Fisher's exact test. Underscores indicate over- or under-representation, respectively, of more than 1.5-fold the percentage expected in that category based on the overall distribution of all Vitis Unigenes.
