Fig. 5

Heat map of the similarity matrix of the fused network from our case study, arranged by spectral clustering into three components. The x and y axes represent the 2369 conditions, while the intensity of the colors in the center represent the similarity between each of the pairs of x and y conditions. The red numbers are cluster labels, from 1 (highest flux rates) to 3 (lowest flux rates). The intensity of the orange and green bars on the top and side represent 5-deoxyribose exchange rate and biomass production, respectively. The rate of both these fluxes can be partitioned and can be used with high confidence to provide clear distinctions between the clusters of conditions. The partitioning process we used was able to provide a similarly clear distinction in both dimensions using each of the fluxes reported in Table 2
