Weighted Network Analysis: Applications in Genomics and Systems Biology / Edition 1

by Steve Horvath

Overview

High-throughput measurements of gene expression and genetic marker data facilitate systems biologic and systems genetic data analysis strategies. Gene co-expression networks have been used to study a variety of biological systems, bridging the gap from individual genes to biologically or clinically important emergent phenotypes.
