Abstract We demonstrate that loss-of-function yeast phenotypes are predictable by guilt-by-association in functional gene networks. Testing 1 102 loss-of-function phenotypes from genome-wide assays of yeast reveals predictability of diverse phenotypes spanning cellular morphology growth metabolism and quantitative cell shape features. We apply the method to extend a genome-wide screen by predicting then verifying genes whose disruption elongates yeast cells and to predict human disease genes. To facilitate network-guided screens a web server is available http . Background Geneticists have long observed that mutations that lead to the same organismal phenotype are typically functionally related and have interpreted epistatic relationships between genes as genetic pathways and more recently as gene networks. In the post-genomic period an abundance of high-throughput data has .
