Summary of metabolic genome partitions into essential and nonessential genes according to Essential Gene Sets.

<p>Three methods are presented for partitioning the genome into essential and nonessential gene according to Essential Gene Sets:</p><p><u>AE-partition</u> is equivalent to the partition done in previous related experimental research, had the experimental essential gene set been determined on a rich medium.</p><p><u>APE-partition</u> is similar to the partition done in previous related experimental research, had the experimental essential gene set been determined on a poor medium.</p><p><u>AENE-partition</u> produces a marked separation, possibly helping overcome metabolic model inaccuracy. AE is the core group of essential genes with a higher probability of aligning with essential genes from experimental data. Similarly, NE are more likely to overlap with nonessential experimental genes. This partition does not cover all metabolic genes, leaving out the PE set.</p><p>Summary of metabolic genome partitions into essential and nonessential genes according to Essential Gene Sets.
