Okay, let me try to figure out the answers to the questions about the pathway enrichment analysis in this article. I'll start by looking at the Methods section, as the user suggested. First, the question is about the tool used. In the Methods section, under the "Materials and Method" part, it says: "Functional annotation analysis was performed using DAVID based on Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway databases." So DAVID is the tool they used. That's question 1. Next, whether a version number was provided. The Methods section mentions DAVID but doesn't specify a version. The references are cited as [47]^11 and [48]^12, but those are the databases, not the tool version. So for question 2, the answer is probably "not described." For the gene set library, the same sentence mentions Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway databases. So the answer to question 3 is both GO and KEGG. Regarding the background gene list, the Methods section says, "The categories of KEGG Pathways served as background databases." So yes, they used KEGG categories as the background. That's question 4. The statistical test used is mentioned in the context of the Chi-squared test in the Distribution of Genetic Elements section, but that's about the regions (intron, promoter, etc.). For the pathway analysis, the Methods section doesn't explicitly state the statistical test. However, DAVID typically uses Fisher's exact test or hypergeometric test for enrichment. But since the article doesn't specify, maybe it's not described. Wait, looking again: the Methods section under pathway analysis doesn't mention the test. The Chi-squared test was used for the distribution in gene elements. So question 5 might be "not described." For question 6 about false discovery rate correction, the Methods section doesn't mention anything about FDR correction. So again, "not described." Let me double-check the Results and Discussion sections. In the Results section, they mention pathway analysis revealed enrichment in certain pathways, but no details on the statistical methods. The Discussion also doesn't go into the specifics of the analysis methods beyond what's in the Methods. So I think my initial answers hold. 1. **What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?** **DAVID** 2. **Was a tool version number provided?** **Not described** 3. **What gene set library was queried (e.g., GO, KEGG, Reactome or other)?** **Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway databases** 4. **Was a background gene list defined for pathway enrichment analysis?** **Yes. The categories of KEGG Pathways served as background databases.** 5. **What statistical test was used for enrichment analysis?** **Not described** 6. **Was false discovery rate correction used to control the number of false positives in the pathway enrichment analysis?** **Not described** --- **Table Summary** | Question | Answer | |----------|--------| | 1. Tool used for pathway enrichment analysis | DAVID | | 2. Tool version number provided | Not described | | 3. Gene set library queried | Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway databases | | 4. Background gene list defined | Yes (KEGG Pathways) | | 5. Statistical test for enrichment analysis | Not described | | 6. False discovery rate correction used | Not described | **Notes:** - The **Methods** section explicitly states DAVID was used for functional annotation analysis with GO and KEGG databases. - The **background gene list** for KEGG was defined, but no further details (e.g., specific gene sets) are provided. - **Statistical tests** (e.g., Fisher’s exact test) and **FDR correction** are not explicitly mentioned in the article.
