Scale free transformation plots for EC region gene co-expression network using differentially expressed intersection genes with HIP region. The plots shows the network properties of gene co-expression network of EC region for different soft thresholds. For different soft thresholds, the plots visualize the scale free topology fitting index (panel -a), the mean connectivity (panel -b). Panel c shows the scale free topology plot of the EC region co-expression network that is constructed with the power adjacency function power (λ=8). This scatter plot between l o g 10(p(k)) and l o g 10(k) shows that the network satisfies a scale free topology approximately (a straight line is indicative of scale-free topology)
