Distribution of network size for each of the three contexts. Distributions of network size are given as the number of nodes in each subcontext. In the tissue context, the cortex of cerebral lobe network had the fewest number of nodes (i.e., 6514), while the placenta network had the largest number of nodes (i.e., 20,171) across not only all networks of the tissue context, but also across all other contexts. In the cell type context, the fibroblast network had the least number of nodes (i.e., 7767), while the stem cell network had the highest number of nodes (i.e., 20,158). In the cell line context, the HepG2 cell line network had the least number of nodes (i.e., 6460), while the Huv-ec-c cell line network had the largest number of nodes (i.e., 18,758). Generally, the networks within each context tended to vary greatly in size. For example, the tissue context includes networks ranging in size from 6514 to 20,171 nodes
