S-scores were obtained as described in Material and methods and are proportional to fold changes. Negative S-scores indicate that the genes are more highly expressed in wild-type (WT) than in knockout (KO) mice, or in WT B6 than in WT D2 mice. Variations in the expression of genes involved in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are provided for information. CoA, coenzyme A; NS, not significant.
