  1. Explanation of each column
  2. Protein Function: overall associated functions with proteins; Gene IDs in active data sets: gene symbol associated with the VL skin transcriptional profile; Gene Title: Full name of gene; Object Name: network object in metabase; Fold change: expression by microarray VL vs control. A: number of network objects in the activated signatures which interact with the chosen object; n: number of network objects in the signature; R: number of network objects in the background list which interact with the chosen object; N: total number of protein-based objects in the background list; E (Expected): mean of hypergeometric distribution; Ratio: connectivity ratio (actual/expected); z-score: (actual-expected)/(standard deviation); p-value: probability to have the value of Actual or higher (lower for negative z-score) by chance under null hypothesis of no over- or under-connectivity; TFs: Transcription factors
  3. “Over-connected” genes (encoded protein) by “function” is based on the connectivity of genes in the active dataset with genes from the Human Proteome in the MetaCore database (metabase). We found sixteen (MX1 and MX2 are both in the dataset and map to a group in metabase) significantly over-connected genes in VL-blood transcriptional profile where the number of observed interactions exceeded the number of expected interactions. There were no under-connected genes observed
