Identification of Influenza A/H7N9 Virus Infection-Related Human Genes Based on Shortest Paths in a Virus-Human Protein Interaction Network

Figure 3

The potential virus infection-related human genes found based on our method for the three species of viruses. 20, 11, and 44 potential infection-related human genes were found for H7N9, HRV, and RSV, respectively. There were 5 sharing genes between those for H7N9 and HRV, and 2 sharing genes between H7N9 and RSV. Other human genes related were not all the same, indicating specific properties or particular characteristics between the infections of the three species of viruses.
