Paired datasets of 0, 8 or 120h DE microRNAs and their 120h DE targets were used in conjunction with IPA Knowledgebase molecules to generate highly connected networks. Each network contained 35 molecules. Statistical fit between each network and its source dataset was evaluated with a right tailed Fisher's exact test. Rank indicates relative statistical significance among all derived networks with the lowest rank (1) representing the most significant network. Network score is the -log10 of Fisher's exact p value. Focus molecules are network molecules originating from the dataset. Hub genes were identified based on high connectivity in multiple networks derived from different datasets.
