Comparison of the number of the gene marker candidates between non-filtered and filtered method in NF-kappa B signaling pathway. (A) NF-kappa B signaling pathway mapped with non-filtered candidates. With no filtering method, too many genes are shown in the pathway which makes it difficult to find an appropriate gene marker. (B) NF-kappa B signaling pathway mapped with candidates filtered by DEG. The number of genes is greatly reduced compared to the non-filtered method. However, difficulty exists in finding significant gene marker as the number of genes are still too many. (C) NF-kappa B signaling pathway mapped with full-filtered candidates. The number of genes was greatly reduced compared to the non-filtered or DEG-only filtered candidates while keeping the genes reported by Yagi et al.(2013).
