Background: Correlation networks are increasingly being used in bioinformatics applications. For example, weighted gene co-expression network analysis is a systems biology method ...
Background: Microarray co-expression signatures are an important tool for studying gene function and relations between genes. In addition to genuine biological co-expression, corr...
Background: Recently we have witnessed a surge of interest in using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to discover the genetic basis of complex diseases. Many genetic variatio...
