*Each module was assigned a name based on the smallest P value for enrichment of GO categories of genes in the module. ^†GO coherence of each module, measured as the percentage of genes in the module covered by the category with the smallest P value. ^‡E, experimental evidence showing at least one of the genes in the module is regulated by, or interacts with, the respective TF or the relationship between the TF and its target was proved by the match with an experimentally confirmed DBM. ^§G, TF-target pair was supported by the match with grouping-DBM in the promoter sequence of genes in the module. ^¶L, literature data mining provided support for the relationship between a TF and its target gene.
