Which of the following is not true of the most highly connected nodes in a genetic interaction map?
A) they are the minority of nodes
B) they are also known as hubs
C) they have a greater influence on phenotype than other genes
D) they typically show scale-free architecture
E) they have lowest buffering capacity of any genes

Question
