Table 1. The top 100 data sets with highest tubulin-gene–expression Pearson correlation from the human platform.

Annotated are studies rank-ordered by decreasing tubulin-gene–expression Pearson correlation, with their associated GEO identifiers. Extracted from the CLIC report is differential tubulin gene expression. Unless NA, down-regulated (down) or up-regulated (up) tubulin mRNA levels are annotated. Based on published literature, perturbations in the listed studies are annotated into 11 groups, and their effect on microtubule cytoskeleton is marked as known (yes) or unknown (no).
