Genes that are differentially expressed following heat-induced ubiquitous overexpression of lab in stage 10-17 hs-lab embryos, grouped according to functional classses. *The functional class 'heat-shock proteins' was excluded from the analysis (see Materials and methods). N, number of genes within a functional group present on the chip; n, number of genes differentially expressed within a functional group following lab overexpression; n/N × 100, number of differentially expressed genes within a functional class following lab overexpression, given as a percentage of the total number of genes in this class present on the array; downregulated, total number of genes within each functional class differentially downregulated following lab overexpression; upregulated, total number of genes within each functional class differentially upregulated following lab overexpression.
