Presented here are a selection of terms for each tissue which were both significantly enriched in the given gene list and present in the top-20 terms, ranked by precision, for the prediction of a gene as being underexpressed by the Random Forest model. The value given between brackets in the Precision column header is the class label’s relative class frequency, i.e. the precision that a classifier would get by randomly classifying the genes. It should be noted that the list of genes underexpressed in the heart was too small for a meaningful analysis and so has been left out.
