Fgf Subnetwork. (A) A module of the subnetwork in Figure 2 is highlighted by the blue box. This module is enlarged in (B), and contains several FGF ligands whose expression is highly upregulated in the primitive streak relative to the epiblast. An important aspect of these modules is that molecules showing changes in gene expression (red or green circles) are linked through molecules whose expression does not change. FGF signalling is known to be active in the primitive streak region relative to the more lateral epiblast.
