Ten simple rules to create biological network figures for communication
Fig 7
Use other visual marks and channels appropriately.
In this Cytoscape (Cytoscape Consortium; https://cytoscape.org/) recreation of Fig 3 from Morris and colleagues [26], the authors used several different marks to explain the data in the network, including stars to indicate highly mutated nodes (in addition to the color gradient) and a red circle to indicate the subject of one of the scenarios outlined in the paper. The authors also used different node shapes to distinguish among complexes, proteins, and processes, and different line and line ending styles to indicate the relationship among the nodes.
