1Training set and test set: all donors were from London, UK; PTB: pulmonary TB; LTB: latent TB; HC: healthy controls; validation set: all donors were from Cape Town, South Africa [2].
2Group-group contrasted and ranked by LIMMA-based method [27, 28].
3(+) NES for positive correlation, (−) NES for negative correlation.
4A FDR of 0.05 or lower was regarded as statistically significant for NES (“positive” or “negative”), otherwise “Null.”
