From: A multi-level multi-scale approach to study essential genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
A network view of the identified set of essential genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis . The set of 283 essential genes are mapped on the protein-protein interaction network to study the connectedness of the essential genes. The nodes are coloured based on the functional categories as provided in Tuberculist (blue: virulence, detoxification and adaptation; red: lipid metabolism; cyan: information pathways; dark green: cell wall and cell processes; light green: intermediary metabolism and respiration; pink: regulatory protein; grey: conserved hypotheticals). About 65% of the essential genes make a larger sub-network while the other nodes form smaller sub-networks.
