Ancylostoma Ceylanicum Gene Expression Overlap Statistics

Erich M. Schwarz published a dataset on 2026-03-17 containing statistical analyses of overlaps between A. ceylanicum genes encoding protein domains and genes with intestine-biased or non-intestine-biased expression. The 1.2 MB dataset includes p-values and q-values for these overlaps, as well as pairwise comparisons with other gene categories like orthologs from H. contortus. It is stored in an XLSX file and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identify statistically significant overlaps between protein domain genes and intestine-biased expression sets.
• Compare A. ceylanicum gene expression patterns with orthologous genes from the related parasite H. contortus.
• Validate intestine-biased gene expression calls using independent RNA-seq data sources mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Dataset is 1.2 MB, indicating a manageable file size for analysis.
• Statistical significance is reported with both p-values and q-values for specific comparisons.
• Includes comparisons to multiple external gene categories, such as orthologs from H. contortus and previously published RNA-seq data.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
