Table 5 Genome wide analysis. Statistics of the final assignments. For each pathway we list the number of possible assignments, the maximum and minimum scores observed over these assignments, and the final score (note that the final score might not be the maximum score, due to conflicts that were resolved at the refinement stage). The last column gives the number of pairwise relations considered in each assignment, and the number of negative-scoring pairs in the final assignment (in parentheses). Negative scores indicate anti or no correlation. Pathways are sorted by the final assignment score. Note that most pathways are assigned a high positive score, and almost all pairs in the final assignments are positive pairs.
