Representative cell morphology and phenotypic distribution of the selected deletion mutants. (A) Representative morphological features of each PC and images of yeast cells. PCs were characterized by the PC loadings (Additional file 8: Figure S6). Red and green arrows indicate an increase and decrease in the PC scores, respectively. Scale bar indicates 5 μm. (B) Boxplot of Mahalanobis distance. Mahalanobis distance from a center of distribution of BY4743 was calculated from the Z-scores (see Methods). (C) Distribution of PC scores of PC1 and PC2. Red and orange circles indicate the 36 detected strains and the 74 undetected strains, respectively. Images of the strains indicated in the plot were exemplified in (A).
