Table 2 Proteins with maximal degree-rank. The rank of a protein in the list of proteins ordered by degree, gene name, and number of connections of the top-ten most connected proteins in the full network are listed, followed by their corresponding mean rankings from the ensemble of 1000 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% subnetworks. Value in brackets are the number of subnets (out of 1000) in which the protein was present. The final column shows the degree in the high-confidence DIP data set; the correspondence between the degrees of a protein in both datasets appears to be poor. Overall, however, there is significant correlation between a protein's degree in the two data sets (τ ≈ 0.53).
