Functional annotations that were significant using at least two methods and that were reflected in results from more than one database included terms related to cytokine, toll-like receptor and T-cell receptor signalling, protein processing, apoptosis, the complement system, VEGF signalling, glucose metabolism and viral infections such as influenza A. As expected, the relative information contributions from different experiment types varied between pathways (Fig. 3B). The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is viral infectious disease.
