Functional subnetwork identified in wing imaginal discs expressing <i>CycG</i><sup><i>ÎP</i></sup>.
<p>Schematic representation of a sub-network of 222 genes centred on Cyclin G (CycG_subnetwork.xmml) and identified using JactiveModules (Z score 48.53). In this sub-network, 65 genes were up-regulated in <i>da-Gal4</i>, <i>UAS-CycG</i><sup><i>ÎP</i></sup> <i>vs da-Gal4/+</i> wing imaginal discs (green gradient), 124 genes were down-regulated (red gradient), and 33 genes were not significantly deregulated (grey). Genes bound by Cyclin G are circled in blue. Transcription factor genes are represented by squares. Genes were clustered depending on their function. Black edges correspond to interactions discovered in the present study. Grey edges correspond to interactions described in the literature and imported into the WID network using DroID.</p
