Recent studies identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with unknown function that are responsible for major fitness changes in yeast. To understand ncRNA interplay and aid their functional assignment, the synthetic genetic array (SGA) methodology was employed to create >15,000 double mutants and to score their epistasis in different environments. Unlike the protein network, ncRNAs mostly displayed positive epistasis in rich medium. Interestingly, the negative interactions significantly increased under stressors, showing environmental-dependent functions for ncRNAs. No correlation was found between the network of ncRNAs and that of their neighbouring genes, suggesting functional independence. The U3 paralogs, SNR17A and SNR17B, share the majority of genetic interactions in rich medium as expected. For example, SUT480 interacted with both paralogs and its function was linked to 18S rRNA processing. However, under stressors, a large number of unique epistatic interactions were observed, supporting the notion that SNR17A and SNR17B have diverged and sub-functionalised after genome duplication.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
