Figure 6

Comparing sequence and semantic similarity. A BLAST sequence analysis was performed to calculate a sequence similarity score for each gene pair in the 100 k set for which sequence data was available. Of those gene pairs we considered only the 53,264 which obtained a score greater than zero. Pairs were binned by bit score and the average in each bin plotted against (A) TO scores and (B) Resnik-max scores. Thick horizontal lines indicate medians, boxes indicate interquartile ranges, and whiskers are drawn at 1.5 times the quartile, or the maximum (whichever is closer to the median).
