  1. aPfam coverage: average fraction of protein length covered by Pfam domains; bfraction essential: fraction of genes in each group that are essential; cGO MF coverage: fraction of genes with Gene Ontology (GO) Molecular Function (MF) annotations; dfraction with interactions: fraction of genes with interactions in the protein physical interaction network. Each statistic is calculated over those genes whose proteins have known physical interactions.
