  • Articles were associated with genes via two mechanisms. In one dataset articles were associated with genes manually by experts (SGD-curated articles); in the other dataset, articles were associated with genes by collecting references from similar non-yeast protein sequences obtained by BLAST search (BLAST-obtained articles). The second column lists the number of unique articles in each dataset; the third lists the number of genes with one or more article. The fourth and fifth columns describe the mean and median number of articles associated with each gene.
