Agreements or disagreements between model predictions and gene essentiality data are classified into four groups: G-G, G-NG, NG-G, and NG-NG; the first part of the group is in silico result, the second part is in vivo result, “G” stands for growth, and “NG” stands for non-growth. Accuracy = (G-G + NG-NG)/Total. Sensitivity = G-G/(G-G + NG-G). Specificity = NG-NG/(NG-NG + G-NG).
