Integration of gene expression data with prior knowledge for network analysis and validation

BMC Research Notes

Table 1 The filtered networks' sizes.

This table shows the two reference networks (Ref.) and their filtered sub-networks with their number of vertices (# V), number of edges (# E) and their number of weakly connected components (# WCC). The expression data was obtained from experiments comparing breast cancer with normal breast tissue. The number of weakly connected components is reduced drastically between strict and 1-extended filtering.
