  1. P v a l u e k s is calculated from a one-sided Kolmogorov-Smirnov test with alternative hypothesis: HDF network > total human network regarding degree, betweenness and eigenvector centrality. In the HDF network each node has approximately three times more connections (16 in HDF vs 6 in the total human network), four times higher betweenness (63·103 in HDF vs 17·103 in human) and a four times higher eigenvector centrality score (0,049 in HDF vs 0,013 in human). The significant higher centrality of the HDF sub-network shows that it takes on a central position within the total human protein interaction network.
