  • Columns A–C refer to all source gene pairs, where both genes are present in the particular reference network; columns D–F refer only to source gene pairs which are connected in the particular reference network (= confirmed source gene pairs). The proportion of pairs with highly similar target sets is increased between four- and eight-fold for the confirmed source gene pairs.
