Genes for virulence-associated phenotypes are interconnected in StaphNet. (A) For various virulence-associated phenotypes, the within-group edge count in StaphNet, which means the number of the edges between genes for the same phenotype, was compared with that of the same size of random gene sets. For each phenotype, a violin plot and an inner box plot represent the distribution of the within-group edge counts by a million random gene sets. Red stars represent the within-group edge counts for the given virulence-associated phenotypes. (B) The SAFE algorithm was used to detect the local enrichment modules for seven virulence-associated phenotypes in StaphNet. The various phenotypes are represented by different colors.
