Over-represented functional classes in the feeding response gene groups. For clarity, gene groups with P>0.001 are not listed. Gene lists are shown in supplemental Table S7.

All representation factors are significant at P<0.001. The probability was determined using the normal approximation of the hypergeometric probability distribution.

Functional classes are from Proteome except where noted.
