Table 1 Threshold values for steps in integrative analysis of Plasmodium falciparum data

From: Integrative analysis of intraerythrocytic differentially expressed transcripts yields novel insights into the biology of Plasmodium falciparum

Criterion and acceptable range

Reconstructed transcript derived from minimum of 5 ESTs

Agreement of pairwise differential expression statistics at P < 0.05

Maximum BLASTX E-value of 10-10 against predicted proteins

Correlation of functional annotation with Plasmodium falciparum gene indices

Evidence that protein is expressed in same stage as gene

Gene Ontology classification: proteolysis, glycolysis or localised to plastid

Microarray: Published data on a gene family
