  • Activation z-score: probability score of the activation states of predicted transcriptional regulators to determine ‘activated’ (z>0) or ‘inhibited’ predictions (z<0); z-scores greater than 2 or smaller than –2 are considered significant. p Value of overlap: overlap between the dataset mRNAs and the mRNAs regulated by the respective upstream regulator calculated by Fisher's exact test, p values <0.01 are considered significant; target molecules in dataset: number of mRNAs that show an expression direction consistent with the predicted activation state of the respective upstream regulator (total number of target mRNAs for the respective upstream regulator).

  • mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, micro-RNA.
