Application of an Integrative Computational Framework in Trancriptomic Data of Atherosclerotic Mice Suggests Numerous Molecular Players

Table 4

GOrevenge prioritization. The second column refers to the number of GO terms remaining after Gorevenge pruning, reflecting the centrality of each gene, while the third column refers to the original number of biological process category GO terms of each gene. Values in the three last columns depict fold changes between ApoE knockout and age-matched wild type mice in log2 scale. All presented genes are also differentially expressed. Top 20 genes are shown.
