The values in the second column represent the number of pathway genes represented in the GCC of the yeast FOCI graph, with the total number of genes assigned to the given pathway in parentheses. The third column indicates the number of pathway genes in the largest coherent subgraph resulting from each pathway query. Pathways represented by coherent subgraphs that are significantly larger than are expected at random (p < 0.05) are marked with asterisks.
