Details

Signature names are composed of the last name of the primary author, followed by a possible context for the signature, and ending with either the number of gene transcripts or genes in the signature, with respect to however it was described in the signature's original publication.

Possible signature contexts:

  • <blank>: TB vs LTBI or Healthy Controls

  • OD: Other diseases

  • HIV: Human Immunodeficiency Virus

  • PNA: Pneumonia

  • RISK: Risk of developing active TB

  • RES: Response to TB treatment

  • FAIL: Failure of TB treatment

Note that in some cases signatures will be positive identifiers of TB whereas others are negative identifiers; this should be taken into account when creating ROC curves and computing any AUC estimates.
