Enrichment in genes with concordant responses vs. non-concordant responses between the survival profiling and transcriptome profiling experiments. by Alexandra Ketcham (492291)

“…<p>Genes that decrease survival when disrupted (with survival scores below -0.5) and are upregulated in the resistant strain (with log₂ fold change TPM over 0.5) were enriched in all four RNA seq expression comparisons: (A) shows survival scores with the expression of resistant (evolved) starved vs sensitive (parental) starved; (B) shows survival scores with the expression of resistant (evolved) vs sensitive (parental) unstarved; (C) shows survival scores with the expression of resistant (evolved) starved vs resistant (evolved) unstarved; and (D) shows survival scores with the expression of sensitive (parental) starved vs sensitive (parental) unstarved.…”

AUC statistics comparing statistical trends in control and test populations. by Madeline Jarvis-Cross (22394247)

“…<p>To evaluate statistical trends, we calculated Kendall’s rank correlation coefficient during the pre-critical interval (here, days one to sixty), and compared control (constant temperature, non-epidemic) and warming (warming treatment, epidemic emergence) coefficients across simulations and experimental populations by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) statistic. Values less than 0.5 suggest that a decrease in the statistical metric indicates emergence, while values greater than 0.5 suggest that an increase in the statistical metric indicates emergence, with more extreme values indicating stronger trends. …”
