A pathway is significantly enriched with candidate target genes when its corresponding upper-tailed value of hypergeometric cumulative distribution is smaller than 0.05. The pathways are ranked according to the order of the increasing values. The coverage for each pathway is referred to as the fraction of candidate target genes among all the pathway member genes.
