highly significantP value = 2.2e-16
Comparing the two sets of genes, we observed a highly significant overlap of 193 genes whose expression was altered by either IL-1β treatment and IL-1R8 deficiency (Fischer’s exact test; P value = 2.2e-16; Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.95; 61.7% downregulated and 38.3% upregulated, Supplementary file 3 ).
