A genome-scale genetic interaction map was constructed by examining 5.4 million gene-gene pairs for synthetic genetic interactions, generating quantitative genetic interaction profiles for approximately 75% of all genes in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A network based on genetic interaction profiles reveals a functional map of the cell in which genes of similar biological processes cluster together in coherent subsets, ... [more]

Quantitative Score

• -0.1355 [SGA Score]

Throughput

• High Throughput

Ontology Terms

• phenotype: colony size (APO:0000063)

Additional Notes

• A Synthetic Genetic Array (SGA) analysis was carried out to quantitatively score genetic interactions based on fitness defects that were estimated from the colony size of double versus single mutants. Genetic interactions were considered significant if they had an SGA score of epsilon > 0.08 for positive interactions and epsilon < -0.08 for negative interactions, and a p-value < 0.05.
• YNR052C is an essential gene and therefore a gene-dosage DAmP allele was used in the experiment. The Decreased Abundance by mRNA Perturbation (DAmP) method results in destabilizing a gene's transcripts thereby decreasing the amount of protein.
