Reduced CIM of retinal development genes versus categories. After we ran RedundancyMiner, we found that certain GO categories in the original CIM (Additional file 11) were sufficiently redundant to be grouped together. GO categories whose names are followed by ":N" (where "N" stands for an integer) are the "representative" members of the "N^th" group. Categories other than the "representative" ones in those groups are not shown in the reduced CIM. Instead, they are shown in the associated META CIM (Figures 2; Additional file 12).
