Table 1 YODA export output options.

From: YODA: Software to facilitate high-throughput analysis of chronological life span, growth rate, and survival in budding yeast

Grouping Options:

 

none

Outputs info for each well or well position.

average groups

Outputs average value and standard deviation for each well group described in well info.

median groups

Outputs median value and standard deviation for each well group described in well info.

Curve Parameter Options:

 

OD thresholds

The min and max background normalized OD values to use in doubling time calculation.

Doubling time Interval OD

The min and max background normalized OD values to calculate "doubling time interval". The program will calculate the average doubling time over this interval.

Survival time shift OD

The background normalized OD value to calculate time shift between curves at different age points.

Run Export Options:

 

append ODs

Whether or not the OD readings for a well should be appended to output.

subtract background

Outputs the OD readings with the file's background subtracted

doubling time inflection

Outputs the doubling time calculated where the curve has the steepest slope between min and max OD thresholds.

doubling time interval

Outputs the average doubling time calculated at all points between min and max doubling time threshold ODs.

doubling time correction

Outputs empirically corrected doubling times.

Lineage Export Options:

 

survival

Outputs the survival fractions for each age point.

survival area

Outputs the integral of the survival fractions over all age points.

clean

Survival fractions are cleaned so that the survival curve has no increases or gasping (spikes at end).

show time shifts

Outputs the time shift relative to reference curve (first age point).

doubling time method

The doubling time method used to calculate survival fraction (uses doubling time of first age point curve).

% change versus reference

Calculates the percent change in survival integral of each well versus a reference.

log2 ratio versus reference

Calculates the log base 2 ratio of survival integrals of each well versus a reference.

t-test versus reference

Calculates the t-statistic and p-value for each well group versus a reference (grouping option must be selected).
