Notation & Variable	Variable Description	Equation
Ak and Bk	Gene product expression of gene k in conditions A and B	Figure 1
FC	Fold change: we represent FC for upregulated genes and 1/FC for downregulated genes.”)	Equation (1)
Jaccard Index = $\frac{\left|M\cap N\right|}{\left|M\cup N\right|}$	Jaccard index is the ratio of significant gene products in common between results derived from analytical methods M and N divided by the union of these sets	Equation (2)
$M\cap N$	Intersection of sets M and N	Equation (2)
$M\cup N$	Union of M and N	Equation (2)
|M|	Cardinality or size of set M	Equation (2)
Ri	Region i, portion of the transcriptome resulting from the filters and cutoffs selected in referenceNof1	Algorithm 1
JI (M,N),Ri	The Jaccard index between analytics methods M and N for genes in region Ri	Algorithm 1
