Conditions

Description

1

P

P ≥ 60% ⇒ P

If more than 60% of features representing one EST have a p-call "P" then assign an EST P-call "P"

2

M

M ≥ 60% ⇒ M

If more than 60% of features representing one EST have a p-call "M" then assign an EST P-call "M"

3

A

A ≥ 60% ⇒ A

If more than 60% of features representing one EST have a p-call "A" then assign an EST P-call "A"

4

M

not 1, 2 and 3: M + P ≥ 60% ⇒ M

If criteria 1, 2 and 3 do not apply and more than 60% of features representing one EST have the p-calls "M" and "P" than assign an EST P-call "M"

5

A

not 1, 2, 3 and 4: M + A ≥ 60% ⇒ A

If criteria 1, 2, 3 and 4 do not apply and more than 60% of features representing one EST have the p-calls "M" and "A" than assign a EST P-call "A"

  1. Definition of a P-call flag (at the EST level) is based on the P-calls of individual features and allows to distinguish UP-/DOWN-/NONE-regulated ESTs from each other
