            Figure 6. Module analysis of protein-protein interaction network. (A) Module 1 has 13 nodes with 55 edges. (B) Module 2 has eight nodes and 12
            connections.

            Figure 7. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network used for discovering hub genes. The six highlighted nodes represent the hub genes. CytoHubba’s
            degree score technique takes into account 94 nodes from the combined PPI network.
