Additional file 7. Gene interaction network. This figure illustrates the interactions between KIT (causal for the belt in pigs), ADAMTS20 (causal for the belt in mice) and TWIST2 (most likely causal for the belt in cattle) in mice. Interaction line colors are as follows: orange: predicted functional relationship, red: physical interactions, purple: co-expression; grey: phenotype (based on mouse genome informatics) and blue: participation in the same reaction within a pathway
