Fig. 5

Interaction network of important myogenic proteins identified by iTRAQ. Protein interactions were predicted in the website of STRING and the interaction network were illustrated by Cytoscape software. There are two cycles in the figure. Myofibrillar proteins are in the inner cycle; other proteins predicted to have interactions with the inner cycle proteins are listed in the outer cycle. Thicker line represents stronger interaction and bigger shape size represents that the protein may interact with more proteins. The strongest to lowest interaction level is marked by red to blue in shapes and lines. Different forms of shape represent different expression trends in 35 and 42 dpc, which are listed in the figure
