Novel fiber-related functional module prediction. (A) The heatmap of 2570 fiber-specific expressed genes in G. hirsutum. (B) Functional module enrichment results of the 2750 fiber-specific expressed genes showing that CFinderADM000212 is significantly enriched and this co-expression module is annotated with cellulose microfibril organization. (C) Detailed annotation of the cellulose microfibril organization functional module. (D) Gene expression views of the functional module. Grey- and green-colored nodes represent un-expressed and expressed gene, respectively, in the tissues. The module is complete only in fiber tissues. (E) Comparison between Gh_A12G1662 (one gene of CFinderADM000212) and its orthologous gene Cotton_A_34370 in G. arboreum, including a MR network comparison (top left), expression profiling comparison (right) and cis-element comparison (bottom left). (F) A cross-linked functional module, which overlaps four genes with the CFinderADM000212 module.
