\title{Genetic Interaction Data (EMAP) from the yeast early secretory pathway}
\description{
 The data are in the form of a 424 by 424 array which contains the scores 
 from using the EMAP procedure on yeast strains which are ideally double
 mutants, each strain with a different pair of genes knocked out. For each
 row, the gene named in the row label is knocked out in all pairs, and
 the same holds true for each column.

\usage{
 data(gi2005)
 data(gi2005.metadata)
}
\format{
 \code{gi2005} is a 424 by 424 array of real values. 
 \code{gi2005.metadata} is a vector of length 424 which contains
  the common names for the genes that were knocked out. The row and 
 column names of \code{gi2005} are standard names.
}
\details{
 NA values in \code{gi2005} are interactions that were not scored. 
%%FIXME: we might need to find out why, as there is an indication
%%in a related paper that genes that are close in genetic distance are
%%likely to have problems and will always get low scores.
