Comparison of the effects of vitrification and dehydration on the cat ovarian cortex. a Enrichment map displaying the enriched gene-sets based on differentially expressed genes between vitrified (V) and fresh (F) tissue and dehydrated for 10 min (D10) and fresh (F) tissue. Nodes are colored according to the enrichment p-value (EASE score) of D10 vs. F; borders are colored according to the enrichment p-value of V vs. F. Clusters of functionally related gene-sets were identified using DAVID tool, manually circled and assigned a label. Additional file 8 contains the web session of the network for interactive view. b STRING network for proteins retrieved from the list of differentially expressed genes in comparison pairs V vs. F and D10 vs. F; proteins with less than three associations to other proteins were removed for the network. Each cluster was analyzed for functional enrichment within STRING app. Nodes are shaped according to the gene list source. Nodes are colored according to the gene abundance (fold change) in comparison pair D10 vs. F; borders are colored according to the gene abundance (fold change) in comparison pair V vs. F. The confidence cutoff was set to 0.4, the confidence score of each interaction is mapped to the edge thickness. Additional file 9 contains the web session of the network for interactive view
