Evaluation of the biological content of the networks with STRING

Network	All of STRING information (C)	Only coexpression information ( $C^{†}$ )	All information except coexpression ( $C^{‡}$ )
$N S (d_{S})$	29.61	9.02	26.55
$N P (d_{S})$	25.23	7.63	22.72
$N I (d_{S})$	24.68	7.81	22.01
RE d_S	7.49 ± 0.08	0.90 ± 0.02	7.09 ± 0.08
$N S (d_{P})$	26.79	7.64	24.12
$N P (d_{P})$	23.32	6.61	21.08
$N I (d_{I})$	22.39	6.60	20.07
RE d_P	7.54 ± 0.08	0.91 ± 0.03	7.13 ± 0.08

Note: RE indicates the expected (mean) result based on random networks with the indicated edge density and its SD. The values in bold correspond to the highest scores for each set of networks and confidence scores.
