*The number of genes categorized with a specific RNAi phenotype in duplicate screens. †The major classes of RNAi phenotypes. Individual genes with multiple phenotypes were counted within each of the phenotypic classes scored. ‡Genes identified by a defect assigned to the same phenotypic class in both cell types.
