Figure 7
Variability of gene expression levels and its association with persistence and essentiality.
(A) Distribution of Variability score for (non) persistent genes (genes with persistence lower or higher than 0.95, respectively). Box plots show Variability values for both groups. Difference between mean values is significant (p-val < 0.01). (B) Distribution of Variability score for essential and non-essential genes with gene essentiality derived experimentally24. Box plots show Variability values for both groups. Difference between mean values is significant (p-val < 0.01).
