  1. Data with P value < 0.05 and ¦activation Z-score¦ ≥2 were considered significant. Information related to this table can be complemented by data reported by Additional file 4 which shows target molecules of the whole datasets and associated mechanistic pathway.
  2. Mma_DMAG, 5-O-mycolyl-beta-araf-(1→2)-5-O-mycolyl-alpha-araf-(1→1′)-glycerol [55]; n/a, not applicable (not found in the dataset). The P value of overlap, which indicates possible upstream regulators, represents the significance of the overlap between the dataset genes identified and the known targets of transcriptional regulators. The activation z-score was used to infer the state of activation of upstream regulators based on a comparison with a model that assigns random regulations.
