Feature Identification of Compensatory Gene Pairs without Sequence Homology in Yeast

Figure 1

The distribution of MES and PCoR for synthetic sick/lethal (SSL) genes in the same and different functional modules. SSL genes in the same functional modules (blue) and different functional modules (red) are plotted as functions of the mean expression similarity (MES) and partial coregulation values (PCoR). The trends of both dataset are very similar. A two-sample t-test reveals that the differences between them are statistically nonsignificant as LOWESS (locally weighted scatterplot smoothing) curves show. Both values for MES and PCoR are around 0.19.
