Table S1. Detailed representation of data obtained from GEO. ARDS gene expression submissions were retrieved from GEO using two terms “Acute lung injury” and “Lung injury”, which resulted in 23 and 25 data sets, respectively. These 48 entries were filtered down to 31 entries according to conditions described in Methods. The reason for filtering out an experiment is provided. (XLSX 16 kb

Table S2. Chi-square values of cross-referenced genes. Given that different microarray platforms have multiple probes for a single gene, the cross-referencing of such platforms generates numerous combinations of expression values for a given gene (32160 in this study). Chi-square value was calculated for each of these combinations and combination with the best chi-square value for a given gene was retained, which resulted in 3152 unique gene entries. These genes were linked to human genome and plotted against their location (Fig. 1). (XLS 185 kb
