Additional data file 4:

Part A lists the 20 top-scoring active modules representing altered gene neighborhoods identified by Cytoscape, when comparing young (1-day) with aging (6-day) glp-1 adult C. elegans raised at 25°C. Part B lists the results of BiNGO analysis of the 20 top-scoring active modules representing altered gene neighborhoods identified by Cytoscape, when comparing young (1-day) with aging (6-day) glp-1 adult C. elegans raised at 25°C.
