Comparison of gene essentiality between human and C. elegans Human genome is divided to three groups as described in the main text and 20,488 C. elegans genes are mapped to each group based on homology. The essentiality of C. elegans gene is obtained from RNAi-interference experiment as described in the main text. Different phenotypes are represented by different colors and the number of the homologs in each group is listed. The fraction of human genes with C. elegans homologs is shown under the group name.
