Figure 3.

The number of deleted genes affects the average buffering. Correlation plots of mean expression ratio (log2 scale) for each deficiency region (calculated for all expressed genes and all replicates for each Df) plotted against total number of genes included in the deficiencies (A) against the total number of expressed genes included in the deficiencies (B) and the total length (in kb) of the deficiencies (C). The dashed line represents −1 in log2 scale or 50% of wild-type expression level. The Spearman’s correlation co-efficient is significant for (A) (rs = −0.964, P = 4.5 × 10−4).
