Biological network constructed from embryonic gonad proteins. Using IPA software to predict coordinated networks of gene products, 342 genes were found to be components of 24 significant biological networks. Depicted is the highest scoring network containing 33 genes identified in the gonad proteome (shown in gray). The functions of this network include RNA post-transcriptional modification, gene expression, and RNA trafficking. Solid lines represent established direct interactions; dotted lines represent indirect interactions.
