Fig. 4. Results from the Replica Set method are similar to those of the traditional approach.
An example of lifespan results from both the RSM and TLM for the same set of experimental conditions: perturbation of either gene of the MML-1::MXL-2 heterodimeric complex shortens lifespan compared to N2 (WT), while perturbation of either component of the opposing MDL-1::MXL-1 complex extends lifespan. While the approach to plotting the data between the RSM and TLM is different, the conclusions reached are the same. (a) Traditional lifespan assay, Kaplan–Meier plot. (b) Replica set data, fit to a logit curve. (This figure is reprinted from [31] with permission via a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license)
