Figure 2

ROC curves for different sets of organisms for E. coli essential gene prediction. ROC curves were made based on the same methodology as those used in Figure 1. In red is the optimal set of 5 organisms selected from the CMIM set of 20, in green is the optimal set of 7 selected from the CMIM set of 20, and in blue is the set of 180 prokaryotes used in this study. The area under each curve (AUC) is indicated on the graph.
