Inference of M. tuberculosis protein function and operon organization based on multiple method overlap. (a) Inference of an operon encoding members involved in thiamine biosynthesis. (b) Operon inference for a region possibly involved in RNA degradation. (c) Functional links and operon inference for a region likely to be involved in cell wall metabolism. In these cases, inferences are made for the functions of uncharacterized genes by their functional linkages to genes of known function.
