Figure 4. Comparison of the overall effect of the identified gene expression changes in response to harmonic blade and electrosurgery incisions on biological processes of relevance to wound healing using GOModeler workflow.

We used Gene Ontology terms to represent specific biological processes, and identify the known effect on a function under consideration such as ‘positively regulates’ or ‘negatively regulates’. The magnitude of the changes in gene expression was also taken into account.
