Figure 7. Recommended experiments can more accurately predict functions than a random selection of the data repository.

A. Comparison to the performance of randomly selected subsets of the entire expression data repository in S. cerevisiae, the recommended datasets, and the recommended experiments carried out in S. bayanus. B. Recommended experiments in the second round in S. bayanus significantly improved weakly represented terms from the first round. Based on the evaluation results in the first round in S. bayanus, we re-designed several microarray experiments for the weakly-predicted terms in the first round. We found that adding these ∼50 experiments to the compendium improved the predictions on the previously weakly predicted terms.
