Comparison of direct functional annotaion of several ORFs (whos function was unknown in 2001) with predicted functions using our corMNL model. For each ORF, we provide its Blattner number, predicted hierarchical class (based on the older hierarchy of E. coli), and the corresponding class labels in the first line. The subsequent lines (in italic format) show the recent annotation of each ORF based on direct experiment. Here, SE = "Some Evidence" and NE = "No Evidence".
