Gene network analysis of immune expression
Interaction | % | Bioprocess | FDR | # Genes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Co-expression | 73.72 | Positive regulation of antimicrobial peptide biosynthesis | 7.90e-7 | 5/ 28 |
Genetic | 13.17 | Defense response to fungus | 8.15e-6 | 5/ 52 |
Physical | 12.74 | External biotic stimulus | 1.23e-11 | 12/ 288 |
Toll signaling pathway | 1.30e-9 | 7/ 47 |
Immune and defense genes differentially expressed in infected bees fed carbohydrates instead of pollen (PN vs. CN) was analyzed in GeneMania. Types of interactions in the resulting network are described with their percentage. Enriched defense processes were uncovered, of which a select number are described. Gene accounts and FDR were calculated based on the Drosophila genome
