Dark-phase peaking transcripts in males form a network of heat shock and RNA-binding/spliceosome genes. Predicted molecular interaction network for genes encoding transcripts found to peak during the night-time/dark phase/host active phase were computed using the STRING online database. All peaked between 14.5 and 18.5 zeitgeber time (ZT) (i.e. between 2.5 and 6.5 h after the start of the dark phase). Node size reflects the number of connections a molecule has within the network. Lines (edges) connecting nodes are based on evidence of the function of homologues. Functional enrichment (FDR) as provided by STRING. (PPI = predicted protein interaction; gene identifiers shown in parenthesis but with “Smp_” prefix removed for clarity; acrophase/time of peak expression (ZT) in square brackets)
