FIGURE 1. Schematic diagram of the network preparation procedure. First, the BEL network (A) is converted into its abstract form (B). This simplification results in the formation of self-loops (protein-D), which are removed together with all nodes that do not lead to a pathology node (C).

NTOX network. (A) The reduced NTOX network (125 nodes, 212 connections) where the start nodes are enzymes (red) and the final node is microphthalmos (purple). All other nodes that are part of the candidate AOPs are marked in yellow. (B) The subnetwork of the candidate AOPs that end with microphthalmos. The two candidate AOPs that were further developed into AOPs are marked in green (AOP 399) and blue (AOP 410).

AOP 399. Inhibition of Fyna leads to increased mortality via decreased eye size (microphthalmos).

Linear path which we developed into AOP 410 and its connection to otic vesicle formation node before removing non-pathology-ends. Yellow nodes represent linear path upstream of cell death.

AOP 410. Gsk3beta inactivation leads to increased mortality via defects in development of the inner ear.
