Effect of different BLAST cutoffs on GO results. This figure illustrates how much the result changes when the BLAST cutoff is changed. Circles show the number of significant GO terms ("Sigcount") at each cutoff. The symbol '× ' indicates the number of significant GO terms common between a given cutoff and its nearest right neighbor. The BLAST cutoff values range from 1E-100 to 10 (1E-100, 1E-90, 1E-80, 1E-70, 1E-60, 1E-50, 1E-40, 1E-30, 1E-20, 1E-10, 1E-5, 0.001, 0.01, 1, 10). The results stabilize around cutoff values of 1E-20 to 1E-40. We chose a default cutoff of 1E-20.
