Background: New technology has resulted in high-throughput screens for
pairwise genetic interactions in yeast and other model organisms. For each pair in a
collection of non-essential genes, an epistasis score is obtained, representing how
much sicker (or healthier) the double-knockout organism will be compared to what
would be expected ... read morefrom the sickness of the component single knockouts. Recent
algorithmic work has identified graph-theoretic patterns in this data that can
indicate functional modules, and even sets of genes that may occur in compensatory
pathways, such as a BPM-type schema first introduced by Kelley and Ideker. However,
to date, any algorithms for finding such patterns in the data were implemented
internally, with no software being made publically available.
