Figure 2

Gene co-expression network in MI encodes clinically interesting knowledge. A. Graphical view of the network. Nodes and edges represent genes and co-expression relationships respectively. Because genes are highly densely interconnected, edges are difficult to graphically discern, and here are shown as a grey area inside the (circle) network layout. B. Overview of the statistical landscape of network communities detected. The q values reflect the statistical relevance of the candidate communities. C. A highly interconnected and co-expressed community, in which Col5a2 is shown as a potential relevant gene with predictive value. The thickness of the edges reflects the observed co-expression values.
