In these genetic tests, the flies showing strong suppression (75-100% of wild-type eye size) or enhancement (0-25% of wild-type eye size) could be easily scored. The majority of the remaining flies also showed a range of mild suppression (or enhancement), but some weak phenotypes were too subtle to categorize. To avoid subjective characterization of these phenotypes, only the strong phenotypes were scored for a minimum estimate of genetic interactions.
