Venn diagram of SuperSAGE and microarray data analyses.

<p>For final analyses we selected 9344 and 7494 genes for which sense transcripts were detected by SuperSAGE and microarray, respectively. The upper diagram (detected) presents numbers of genes, whose transcripts were identified by either one (light grey, left: SuperSAGE, 3018; dark grey, right: Microarray, 1168) or both methods (intersection; grey, middle part, 6326). The lower diagram (significantly differentially) presents genes, whose transcripts were significantly differentially (Super SAGE, p<1⁻¹⁰; Microarray, q<0.01; log₂ratios <−0.585 or >0.585) regulated between EM and UM according to at least one analysis (outside the intersection: light grey, left: SuperSAGE, 47; dark grey, right: microarray, 110; within the intersection: grey, left: 144 found as differentially transcribed according to SuperSAGE only; grey, right: 365 found as differentially transcribed according to microarray data analysis only; light orange, left, 33: found as significantly regulated by both analyses but differentially transcribed only according to SuperSAGE; light orange, right, 22: found as significantly regulated by both analyses but differentially transcribed according to microarray data analysis only). Finally, a number of 29 transcripts (dark orange, middle) were found representing genes being differentially transcribed according to the analyses of the data sets obtained by both methods.
