Analysis of transcriptional response to transcription factor deletion. Mean and standard deviation of gene expression log-ratio between mutant and wild type as obtained in Hughes et al. were calculated for all genes in the genome, as well as for the B+/C+ and B+/C- groups. A sample t-test was performed to determine the significance of the change in expression. The B+/C+ genes show a significant change in mRNA expression for the 7 transcription factors for which deletion and ChIP data is available. By contrast, the response of the B+/C- genes is insignificant for most transcription factors.
