  1. Chip: our chip model name (see Table 1); NetNb: number of networks used to calculate the limits; ProbeNb: minimal number of probes that a probe set must have in a gene to be considered as targeting that gene; CORR: positive correlation limit; ANTI: negative correlation limit; PV: neighbourhood overlap limit (logarithm of p-value). The m27 limits for ProbeNb = 1 and NetNb = 21 were calculated on networks constructed using different combinations of biological conditions.
