Why Do Hubs in the Yeast Protein Interaction Network Tend To Be Essential: Reexamining the Connection between the Network Topology and Essentiality
Figure 1
Relationship between degree and essentiality in the tested networks.
(A) For each tested network the fraction of essential nodes among nodes with highest degree (hubs) is shown. The horizontal axis shows the fraction of the total network nodes that were designated as hubs. (B) Correlation between degree and essentiality is assessed by Kendall's tau and Spearman's rho rank correlation coefficients.
