Additional File 2:

Simulation results of 44 genotypes. The data give the 10,000 simulation results without unstable fate patterns. Yellowish region means that corresponding genotype possesses experimental evidences exhibited in [32]. Bright yellow cells give the fitting scores of predicted fate patterns.
