Today’s lecture
• What information do we get out of gene
perturbations?
– Phenotypes and their ‘richness’
• How do we use this information to infer the
internal architecture of a cell?
– Guilt-by-association
– Nested Effects Models
Phenotype: viability versus cell
death

Take-home messages
• Phenotyping screens probe a cell’s
reaction to targeted perturbations
• Guilt-by-assocation is a powerful predictor
of gene/protein function …
• … but Guilt-by-assocation has limited
ability to infer mechanisms
• Inferring subset relations by Nested Effects
Models provides hierarchical view of cellular
organisation
