Figure 2

Global gene co-expression networks. (A-C) Log-log plots of connectivity distributions in each of the three networks drawn from DNA Damage, Environmental Response, and Cell Cycle, respectively. The linear relationship indicates a scale-free structure. (D-F) Correlation plots showing the relationship between gene group connectivity and essentiality in the same order as A-C. On the y axis of these plots is the percentage of genes determined to be essential in yeast. (G-I) Relationship between the average blastp score of a node and k for all datasets in the same order as A-C. On the y axis of these plots is the average log(e score) of genes within that bin. For plots D-I, the connectivity within each network for each gene was determined and each gene rank ordered by connectivity. 20 equal sized bins for each of the expression datasets were formed and the average connectivity of the genes in each bin plotted on the X axis
