Abstract10.1073/pnas.0806261105 Synthetic lethal genetic interaction networks define genes that work together to control essential functions and have been studied extensively in using the synthetic genetic array (SGA) analysis technique (SGA). The extent to which synthetic lethal or other genetic interaction networks are conserved between species remains uncertain. To address this question, we compared literature-curated and experimentally derived genetic interaction networks for two distantly related yeasts, and . We find that 23% of interactions in a novel, high-quality literature-curated network are conserved in the existing network. Next, we developed a method, called SGA analysis (SGA), enabling rapid, high-throughput isolation of genetic interactions in this species. Direct comparison by SGA and SGA of â¼220 genes involved in DNA replication, the DNA damage response, chromatin remodeling, intracellular transport, and other processes revealed that â¼29% of genetic interactions are common to both species, with the remainder exhibiting unique, species-specific patterns of genetic connectivity. We define a conserved yeast network (CYN) composed of 106 genes and 144 interactions and suggest that this network may help understand the shared biology of diverse eukaryotic species.
