Feature Identification of Compensatory Gene Pairs without Sequence Homology in Yeast

Figure 2

The distribution and characterization of the PCoR and MES for the 171 nonhomologous genes with a significant CN score and the genes with potential compensatory capability. 171 nonhomologous SSL genes with a significant CN score are plotted in blue color. The selected genes with potential compensatory capability from the gene expression profiles are plotted in red. Seventy percent of the 171 genes (in a green rectangle) have the values of MES and PCoR concentrated in [0, 0.5] and [0.4, 0.6], respectively. The selected genes are also concentrated in the aforementioned range (in a green rectangle).
