AIRnet inferred connections found in public databases. The table shows the number of connections in the AIRnet inferred network that have the given number of intermediate connections. A Connection count of one indicates that the genes are directly connected in the graph. A count of two indicates that the genes have one intermediate gene between them in the pathway database. The percentage shows the percentage of connections in the inferred network that have this Connection count. AIRnet connections were validated almost 70% of the time, where less than 30% of the connections in random networks were validated.
