Integration of laboratory results via modeling. The different relationships between hypothetical interactions of X and Y with Z as discovered by scientists A and B. Solid lines depict the necessity of the interaction for species Z to be activated, whereas dashed lines correspond the optional nature of the interaction. Because scientist B’s results suggest an “OR” relationship between the regulators, there are two graphical representations of Z’s regulatory mechanism.
