Figure 1 Dosage-Sensitive Proteins Have an Intrinsic Propensity for Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (A) Ability of physico-chemical features to discriminate dosage-sensitive and granule forming sets from the rest of the yeast proteome. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is used to measure performances of individual properties and combinations of them. Performances of the catGRANULE algorithm (Experimental Procedures) are highlighted with a green square. (B) Distribution of granule propensities calculated with catGRANULE (Experimental Procedures) for annotated granule forming proteins (n = 120), dosage-sensitive proteins as reported in Sopko et al. (2006) (n = 770) and Makanae et al. (2013) (n = 777) and the rest of the S. cerevisiae proteome (n = 3,726). Boxes represent the range between the 25th and 75th percentile. Grey dashed line indicates the propensity value for Mip6p. (C) Performance of the model on “granule forming” genes (AUC: 0.86) and on the independent test set “granule related” genes (AUC: 0.72). See also Table S1 for full table of ORFs. See also Figure S1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
