Construction of disease-specific cytokine profiles by associating disease genes with immune responses
Fig 2
The predicted Association Score between two genes measures the confidence of their associations.
We calculated Association Scores for all possible pairs (108,140,571 pairs) of 14,707 human genes. A total of 9,250,034 of these pairs have a known STRING confidence index. The confidence indexes of known STRING pairs are shown in the four boxplots below, grouped by their predicted Association Scores. As the predicted Association Score increases (left to right), the average STRING confidence index also increases (low to high).
