Yeast iron map organized by the force-directed layout in Cytoscape. Map was constructed using all molecular interactions associated to iron metabolism compiled from the literature, including ones from the present study. The iron metabolism cluster, enriched with known genes associated to it, is circled in red. Genes in this cluster are highly interconnected with each other by edges that represent different molecular interactions retrieved from the literature. Specific genes can be searched in the map by using the Find feature in Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
