Summary:
Gene co-expression networks can be constructed in multiple different ways, both in the use of different measures of co-expression, and in the thresholds applied to the calculated co-expression values, from any given dataset. It is often not clear which co-expression network construction method should be preferred. COGENT provides a set of tools designed to aid the choice of network construction method without the need for any external validation data.

01:42What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.

A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
