Table 1 Number of uncharacterized or poorly characterized genes of P.falciparum that can be annotated by the LR-GA or BO-SP comparisons with different ratio thresholds.

ξ ratio threshold		40	20	10	5	2
LR-GA	# unchar. genes	4	47	80	142	183
	# IEA char. genes	74	90	127	163	214
BO-SP	# unchar. genes	1	31	92	129	167
	# IEA char. genes	77	106	115	176	230

Lines "# unchar. genes" show the number of genes without any annotation in the BP ontology that can be associated with an S. cerevisiae gene annotated in this ontology. Lines "# IEA char. genes" show the number of genes with only electronic non-curated annotations (GO Evidence Code IEA) in the BP ontology that can be associated with an S. cerevisiae gene with a curated annotation in this ontology.
