Distribution of the number of genetic interactions. (A) Alignment of the gene deletion strains according to the number of genetic interactions. Red and orange crosses indicate the detected strains and the undetected strains, respectively. The number of genetic interactions of 77 strains was counted, as the remainder was not available [17]. (B) Boxplot of the number of genetic interactions. Grey, red and orange boxes indicate number of genetic interactions in 100 genes randomly selected from nonessential genes as a reference, heteroclite strains and remaining strains, respectively. Gene number available for genetic interaction data is shown in parentheses.
