At an ε = - 0.05 cutoff value (and using a p<0.05 cutoff based on bootstrapping), 184 genes showed negative interactions with yEVenus. This gene set was tested for GO Slim category enrichment. A GO category was termed as enriched significantly, if the genes annotated to a particular GO term were significantly overrepresented (Fisher's exact test, odds ratio >1, p<0.05, FDR-corrected p<0.1) in the given gene set using the complete list of screened genes as background. N indicates the number of negative interacting genes belonging to the corresponding GO Slim category. Source file is available as Supplementary file 1.
