*4.11. Pathway Analysis*

Protein-protein interaction prediction and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed by String (V.10.0) [106] and ConsensusPathDB (CPDB) [107] on UCB HSPCs and in vitro differentiated erythroid cells. The link between the genes, human phenotype and diseases were evaluated by performing functional gene list enrichment using ToppFun analysis from ToppGene Suite [108]. Gene ontologies were recovered from Gene, NCBI (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/).
