Gene lists resulting from the same experiment can differ greatly as a result of selection criteria. Eight different methods were used to select genes upregulated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of HIV patients after discontinuation of antiretroviral drug therapy. The various lists resulted from four different array-to-array normalizations, two different methods of intensity calculation and two methods of statistical selection of genes (see text). The values in square brackets on the diagonal show the total number of genes yielded by each method. The unbracketed numbers give the absolute number of genes shared by any two methods, with the percentage of genes in both lists from the combined gene lists in parentheses.

[9]; t-test, Student T statistic; SAM, statistical analysis of microarrays software [10]. |
