[i] The table reports P-values based on a Mann–Whitney Utest between log2-fold changes for ASE genes and non-ASE genes. Significant associations (P-value < 0.05) are highlighted in bold.

[ii] aThe association showed higher log2-fold changes for non-ASE genes than for ASE genes and is of the opposite direction than significant associations highlighted in bold.
