Sensitivity and specificity of using temporal gene-expression pattern in silico to predict expression of candidate genes/EST in vivo. As shown, the TRP results in an overall sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 88%. Assuming the stochastic independence of the in situ confirmation outcome and the temporal gene regulatory pattern, a χ2 test of the contingency table gives a probability (P < 0.01) that the association between confirmation and pattern is insignificant.
