BaCoN (Balanced Correlation Network) improves prediction of gene buffering by Thomas Rohde, Talip Yasir Demirtas, Sebastian Süsser, Angela Helen Shaw, Manuel Kaulich, Maximilian Billmann

“…Abstract Buffering between genes, where one gene can compensate for the loss of another gene, is fundamental for robust cellular functions. While experimentally testing all possible gene pairs is infeasible, gene buffering can be predicted genome-wide under the assumption that a gene’s buffering capacity depends on its expression level and its absence primes a severe fitness phenotype of the buffered gene. …”
