The improvement in R 2can explain nearly 40% of the variance unexplained by the four-parameter model in some cases (amino-acid slopes in archaea/bacteria), although in other cases the 24-parameter model does not offer an improvement (for example, amino-acid intercepts in eukaryotes).
It has been pointed out that statistically significant differences in gene expression often are of small magnitude (sometimes as low as 1.2-fold), and that larger effects often are artefacts of high variance [ 7 8 ] . For those interested in detecting these smaller effects, it is important to minimize nonspecific sources of inter-array variance.
Differences in the slope of regression lines were evaluated by analysis of variance.
The sampling variance of this estimate was calculated according to Nei and Roychoudhury [ 27 ] . The computer software Arlequin was used to perform these calculations [ 28 29 ] .
There is not enough information in the replicated comparisons of each gene's ratio of expression to constrain the variance parameter to a small enough value so that expression levels could be inferred to lie within a small range.
