摘要: Background Synthetic lethality experiments identify pairs of genes with complementary function. More direct functional associations (for example greater probability membership in a single protein complex) may be inferred between that share synthetic lethal interaction partners than are directly lethal. Probabilistic algorithms gene modules based on motif discovery highly appropriate for the analysis genetic data and have great potential integrative heterogeneous datasets.
