Comparison of our predictions on gene function with their MIPS description ([see Additional file 1] for full data set)

ORF/Gene	Ontology	Prediction	MIPS description
ASC1	BP	Biosynthesis	PROTEIN SYNTHESIS\ribosome biogenesis; PROTEIN SYNTHESIS\translation
ASC1	CC	cytosolic small ribosomal subunit; ribonucleoprotein complex	Cytoplasm
ASC1	MF	structural constituent of ribosome	GTP-binding proteins\trimeric GTP-proteins\beta subunits
YGL068W	BP	fatty acid metabolism; protein metabolism	BIOGENESIS OF CELLULAR COMPONENTS\mitochondrion; PROTEIN SYNTHESIS\ribosome biogenesis\ribosomal proteins
YGL068W	CC	mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit; ribonucleoprotein complex	Mitochondria

These ORFs were selected from among the 78 predictions which have their equal annotation in MIPS database and their anticipated precision are larger than 80%.
