Top, algorithm to detect essential protein domains. This algorithm is implemented in
Source code 2. For each gene, a score is computed as follows: the longest interval between transposon n and transposon n + 5, multiplied by the total number of transposons mapping to that gene, divided by the gene length to the power of 1.5. A score of 0 is assigned to genes targeted by less than 20 transposons, in which the longest interval is smaller than 300 bp, and/or in which the longest interval represents more than 90% or less than 10% of the CDS length. Bottom, yeast genes sorted according to their domain likelihood score. Vertical black bars above the graph indicate previously annotated essential genes.
