Ten simple rules to create biological network figures for communication
Fig 2
These two images represent the same data from Collins and colleagues [6]. The image on the left (A) shows an adjacency matrix representation of the network. The inset within the image shows a cluster identified on the diagonal that represents the exosome complex. The image on the right (B) is of the same data depicted as a node-link diagram with the same nodes highlighted. Notice how difficult it is to see the close interaction between the nodes, even in the inset in this second image, due to the clutter resulting from other nodes. These images were produced in Cytoscape (Cytoscape Consortium; https://cytoscape.org/) with the clusterMaker2 app and postprocessed in Photoshop (Adobe; https://wwww.adobe.com/) to merge in the insets.
