  • MSP, major sperm protein

  • a Number of genes in the query

  • b Number of genes found by the gene recommender at 50% recall

  • c Number of genes found by the gene expression topomap at 50% recall

  • d Number of genes found by the gene recommender from a set of random genes at 50% recall

  • e Percent of genes in the list at 50% recall that are from the query list

  • f This group is known to be comprised of two distinct subgroups, and hence resulted in a hit list with lower precision
