WGCNA: an R package for weighted correlation network analysis.
Peter Langfelder,Steve Horvath +1 more
TL;DR: The WGCNA R software package is a comprehensive collection of R functions for performing various aspects of weighted correlation network analysis that includes functions for network construction, module detection, gene selection, calculations of topological properties, data simulation, visualization, and interfacing with external software.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining clusters from a hierarchical cluster tree
TL;DR: The Dynamic Tree Cut R package is presented, that implements novel dynamic branch cutting methods for detecting clusters in a dendrogram depending on their shape that can optionally combine the advantages of hierarchical clustering and partitioning around medoids, giving better detection of outliers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast R Functions for Robust Correlations and Hierarchical Clustering
Peter Langfelder,Steve Horvath +1 more
TL;DR: An implementation of Pearson correlation calculation that can lead to substantial speedup on data with relatively small number of missing entries is presented, and the package flashClust that implements the original algorithm which in practice achieves order approximately n(2), leading to substantial time savings when clustering large data sets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is my network module preserved and reproducible
TL;DR: This work studies several types of network preservation statistics that do not require a module assignment in the test network, and finds that several human cortical modules are less preserved in chimpanzees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eigengene networks for studying the relationships between co-expression modules
Peter Langfelder,Steve Horvath +1 more
TL;DR: Eigengene networks can be effective and biologically meaningful tools for studying the relationships between modules of a gene co-expression network and the proposed methods may reveal a higher order organization of the transcriptome.
