Variables for booklet ID are represented by deviation contrast codes (Pedhazur 1997).
For the convenience of description, we assume every node uses its own ID as an identification and the cluster ID is represented by the cluster head's ID.
When a gene (its Entrez Gene ID) is represented by >1 probe sets, we selected the probe set with the maximum linear correlation between replicate to be its unique representative.
To make comparisons of all TFs in terms of histone modification variations, genes in the list of 1329 TFs that had more than one corresponding RefSeq ID were represented by the RefSeq genes with longest transcripts.
When a gene (its Entrez Gene ID) is represented by >1 probe sets, we selected the probe set with the smallest signed rank p value as its unique representative.
There are parts of the Git data model where object ids are represented as strings (ie within commit object headers, where you could easily add new optional 'extended-id' headers, and others, eg 'tree' objects, where they're taken as raw binary data of precisely 160 bits.
We assume that the IDs are represented by 64 bits as in the IPv4 format.
Another set of comparisons for N = 20 agents is presented in Fig. 5b, where scenarios with 6 and 8 IDs are represented.
Sequence IDs are represented by numbers for software input convenience (see Additional file 2 : Table S3 for sequence ID renaming information).
