The model predicted 23 viable mutants to be lethal. Of these, seven mutants can be explained by implicit synthetic lethality: while cln3 and clb5 are viable, the model lacks implementation of mechanistic functions of Bck2 and Clb3/Clb4, which are essential in the absence of Cln3 and Clb5, respectively. While other mutants have strong phenotypes in, e.g. cell size or growth rate, such as swi4, swi6 and pds1, others—like cdh1—have no strong phenotypes as single mutations, suggesting that redundancy mechanisms are missing in our current knowledge
