Table 2 All ten possible pairwise DGE comparisons with the total number of DEG and enriched GO terms for each. Also indicated is whether each comparison is informative for contrasting each EOD feature. The phenotypes for waveform polarity can only be contrasted in comparisons where both OTUs have penetrations. Informative comparisons for each EOD feature (Set A’) are marked with an * in the column of the EOD feature they contrasted
