To identify potential functions of selected gene sets, we compared these gene sets with each GO biological process (GOBP) [ 71] and computed functional enrichment using Fisher's Exact test (FET) and a conservative modification of FET as EASE scores [ 20].
"It jeopardizes the tax cuts, it jeopardizes increases in education funding, it jeopardizes our priorities". Rather than give up on those, Senate Republicans passed a bill to expand Medicaid, albeit with a few conservative modifications.
