Fig.4From: Diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis via identification of core genes and pathways utilizing blood transcriptional signatures: a multicohort analysisPPI network of DEGs and module analysis. A DEG PPI network constructed by STRING online database. Circular nodes represent proteins. Edges indicate the interaction between two proteins. The color intensity of the nodes or edges is based on the degree or combined score in the DEGs. B–E Module analysis via Cytoscape software (degree cut-off = 2, node score cut-off = 0.2, k-core = 2, and max. depth = 100) and four central modules were built based on the PPI network. F Interrelation analysis between immune system pathways. All genes from all pathways were noted in red. G Count number of genes involved in the identified pathwaysBack to article page
