The first column lists longevity genes, column 2 shows the most highly enriched Gene Ontology biological process in subnetworks containing that gene, and the P-value of the enrichment (hypergeometric test with FDR correction) is shown in column 3. Genes with no previously known manual Gene Ontology biological process annotation are indicated with an asterisk.
