Classification of the biological perturbations based on their effects on the highly coordinated genes of the Asp-family and aromatic amino acid metabolic networks. Euclidian distance between pairs of biological perturbations that had a significant effect on one of the highly coordinated genes (HCGs) of either the Asp-family network or the aromatic amino acids (AAA) network. Each black dot represents one pair of biological perturbations in which the position along the X and Y axes represents the differential effect (measured as Euclidian distance) of the pair of biological perturbations on the expression level of the HCGs of the Asp-family network and the AAA network respectively. Black dots inside blue and red circles indicate pairs of biological perturbations having similar effects on the HCGs of one network and differential effects on the HCGs of the second network. Pairs of biological perturbations having the same magnitude of differential effects on both networks (either small or significant) are enclosed in the green rectangle.
