Figure 4.
Gene and protein associations between shared female and male up-modulated genes (± 2-fold) in X. maculatus skin after 16 kJ/m2 UVB exposure. The gene network is based on the ConsensusPathDB (CPDB; Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics) gene analysis software. In total, 121 genes were queried and associations were found as follows: protein interactions (orange lines), gene regulatory interaction (purple lines), and biochemical interaction (green lines). Red boxes are genes involved in apoptosis, green boxes are genes involved with circadian rhythm, grey boxes are genes involved with fatty acid biosynthesis, dark purple boxes are mitochondria associated genes, and dark blue boxes are genes involved with an induced response to toxins, extracellular stimulus, or UV exposure including DNA repair. Other queried genes are represented by light purple boxes and proteins by light blue boxes.
