Figure 5

Combined networks reconstruct portions of known pathways that cannot be obtained by applying the methods independently. The blue spheres correspond to clusters of genes ascribed to a particular functional pathway (such as the ones described in Figure 4). The three-dimensional coordinates of the spheres correspond to the fraction of the clusters (in terms of nodes) that could have been recovered by each of the methods (the axes). The names of some of the pathways are shown. The E. coli genome was used and only clusters of seven or more genes are shown.
