Contrast of BLAST and FACT (FACT score) for different E-value/p-value combinations. The matrix bins the 9,570 proteins according to the E-value and the p-value of the best hit when used as query for BLAST and FACT, respectively. The total number of proteins for a E-value/p-value combination is given by the bottom number in the corresponding cell. The two further numbers in a cell give the number of searches FACT (top) and BLAST (middle) had a functional equivalent as top scoring protein. The count number for the better performing tool is given in bold face. Yellow cells show E-value/p-value combinations where FACT identified more functional equivalents than BLAST, whereas the blue cells indicate a higher fidelity of BLAST. Grey cells mark ties.
