Description Arguments Value

Find Plasmodium falciparum genes expressed during gametocytogenesis in strain NF54, strain 3D7, or MACS-purified strain 3D7. It uses data from a total of 23 microarray experiments (1), as shown here for gene PFD0830w: <div align="center"> <img src="images/plasmo_gam_pct_pfd0830w.png"> </div> These experiments were performed using an Affymetrix short oligonucleotide platform, which contains oligos (25-mers) derived from the predicted coding regions of the entire P. falciparum genome. Expression values for each probe set were obtained by the MOID algorithm (2). Genes can be found by their percentile expression in the selected set of assays. However, please note that, regardless of the percentile expression level selected, only genes that are above background and whose observed expression level would not be expected by chance (MOID expression level >10 and logP < -0.5) are included and will be reported. This means that genes that have only a single probe on the array will not be reported as their logP values will always be too high to satisfy the query. <pre>References: (1) Jason A.

`day_and_strain`	Choose one or more strain/day combination Provide one or more values. Use comma as a delimter.
`min_expression_percentile`	Lower bound on expression percentile.
`max_expression_percentile`	Upper bound on expression percentile.
`o-fields`	Single valued attributes of the feature. Provide one or more values. Use comma as a delimter.
`o-tables`	Multi-valued attributes of the feature. Provide one or more values. Use comma as a delimter.
`.convert`	a logical value or a function that controls how the result of the method is returned. If this is a function, the character string or raw vector is passed to this function and it converts it appropriately. If this is a logical value and `TRUE`, then we attempt to convert the result based on its Content-Type returned by the Web server. If this is `FALSE`, the value from the Web server is returned as is.
`.url`	the URL for the Web request. This defaults to the correct value, but can be specified by the caller if the method is available at a different URL, e.g. locally or in a mirror server.
`.json`	a logical value controlling whether to use the JSON or the XML version of the method
