MCL clustering analysis in STRING reveals different functional clusters in the protein–protein interaction network generated from cell differentiation downregulated DEGs and their putative regulators. Cytoscape software was used for better visualization of this network. The nodes represent genes and the line thickness denotes the degree of confidence prediction of node interaction. Each colour represents a different cluster. Green and purple clusters were considered “main clusters” as they contain most of the genes. Interaction score > 0.4
