Table 2 Calculation of the TelNet score

From: TelNet - a database for human and yeast genes involved in telomere maintenance

Feature

Score

Identification in a TM related screen (added up if present in multiple screens)

1

TM significance is “validated”

3

If TM significance is “predicted”, the gene yields 10% of the orthologue’s TelNet score

0-1

Cellular function contains the term “telomere”

1.5

A TM function is assigned (added up for multiple functions)

0.5

TM function is “shelterin”, “telosome” or “telomerase”

0.5-2

  1. The different features and their associated TelNet score are listed. The final value is calculated as the sum of the different entries and can reach a maximum value of 10
