FIGURE 2.

Coexpression network of DE-lncRNAs and DE-mRNAs for predicting the functional roles of candidate lncRNAs. (A) Overview of the coexpression network comprising lncRNA associations with mRNAs. The key genes in the center of the network are in the black triangle area. The red colored genes represent upregulated lncRNAs and mRNAs, while the blue color indicates downregulated genes. Positive correlations are represented by a solid line, and negative correlations are represented by a dotted line. Data are expressed using the comparative cycle threshold method. (B) The subnetwork in the black area above was selected to show the relationship between candidate hub lncRNAs and mRNAs.
