  • χ2-statistical analysis of three independent whole genome transcription profiles—cell cycle (CC), response to pheromone (PHE), and sporulation (SPO)—reveals that there is a significantly higher fraction of positively correlated transcription of protein-protein interactions in the MIPS database compared to the protein-protein interactions of the whole-genome screens (UETZ, ITO-core, ITO-full).
