Nonredundant, Highly Connected MicroRNAs Control Functionality in Breast Cancer Networks

Figure 5

This scatterplot shows miR nodes in the healthy and cancer networks: grey dots for cancer and black squares for healthy. The -axis represents the redundancy coefficient, and -axis represents the degree of a miR. Only nodes with degrees larger than 2 are represented, as redundancy is not defined for nodes with a lower degree value. The plot is divided by lines representing thresholds for redundancy (0.5) and degree (100). The upper left sector of the plot is populated by five Cdre-miR nodes (red dots) with high connectivity and low redundancy.
