Tested methods are shown organized by main method (multi-species or single-species), data types used, and whether the analysis was performed over the full genome or restricted to only genes with orthologs across the species analyzed. ISA, Iterative Signature Algorithm; EO, expression only; MSCM, multi-species cMonkey; SH, shared biclusters; MSISA, multi-species ISA; P, purified biclusters; MSKM, multi-species k-means; BMSKM, balanced multi-species k-means; EL, elaborated biclusters; R, refined biclusters, applies only to the ISA algorithm (MSISA-R); FD, full data; SSCM, single-species cMonkey; COAL, Coalesce biclustering method; QUBIC, QUalitative BIClustering algorithm.
