Supplementary Figure 9: Discriminative power of BTM modules compared with canonical pathways.

From: Molecular signatures of antibody responses derived from a systems biology study of five human vaccines

Supplementary Figure 9

Discriminative power is shown as t-scores in two-class comparison. The horizontal gray lines show the threshold of confidence level of α = 0.001. By this cutoff, the numbers of significant modules/pathways can be looked up on the X-axis (top two numbers inserted by curves). YF-17D data were from Querec et al 2009, Nature Immunology 10:116; MCV4 this study; Turberculosis from Berry et al 2010, Nature 466: 973; RTS,S from Vahey et al 2010 J Infect Dis 201:580. All testing data sets were never part of the BTM construction process. KEGG, BioCarta and NCI_PID are respective pathway databases. Chaussabel modules were version 2 based on Chaussabel et al 2008 Immunity 29:150. “Random” modules contain randomly selected genes, matched to the sizes of KEGG pathways.
