Table S1: gene annotation judgment summary counts from the quality assurance assessment process. Table S2: quality assurance gene pair judgment annotations. Table S3: independent annotations of TFs when the same PubMed evidence was used. Table S4: PFAM and Superfamily group model DBD predictions for the annotated TF genes. Table S5: DNA-binding classification extensions added to the Luscombe et al. [15] classification system. Table S6: protein class counts of genes predicted to contain multiple instances of the same DBD. Table S7: DNA-binding TFs predicted to contain two different DNA-binding classes. Table S8: DNA-binding TFs that do not contain a detected DBD. Table S9: DNA-binding TFs with no detected protein family-level domain. Table S10: annotated single-stranded DNA-binding TFs. Table S11: summary of the counts enumerated in the TFCat comparison with GO. Table S12: summary of the counts enumerated in the comparison of TFCat classified HMM DBDs with the DBD database (DBDdb). Table S13: Superfamily DBD comparisons with DBDdb. Table S14: PFAM DBD comparisons with DBDdb. Table S15: Fox family test set genes. Table S16: Sox family test set genes. Figure S1: Venn diagram of the overlap of the four initial TF datasets. Figure S2: plots for the analysis of cluster pruning methods using the Fox test set. Figure S3: plots for the analysis of cluster pruning methods using the Sox test set. Figure S4: TFCat annotation workflow implementation. Figure S5: screen shots of the backend web-based TFCat annotation tool. Figure S6: Sox-containing cluster membership for the evaluated cluster pruning methods. Figure S7: Fox-containing cluster membership for the evaluated cluster pruning methods. Figure S8: an example of pruned Fox-containing clusters generated using the I's only method using a threshold of 0.21.
