The output of different tools applied to four gene sets, corresponding to the cell-cycle phases G1, S, G2 and M. Each output term was categorized as ‘true positive’, ‘false positive’ or ‘uninformative’. Superscripts indicate matches to the cell-cycle benchmark (Table 3). Qualitatively, Martini gave the best performance.
