String Database and DAVID

The String Database (https://string-db.org/) is a publicly available online that predicts functional associations between different proteins. In this study, the network for GATAs and the 50 most frequently neighbor genes was constructed using the String Database. Minimum required interaction score was selected as high confidence (0.7). Next, Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) (https://david.ncifcrf.gov/) was used to perform Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses with 6 GATAs and 50 associated proteins. “Homo sapiens” was selected and P<0.05 means a statistically significant difference.
