Hub genes of stroke identified by weighted gene co-expression network analysis [PDF]
Abstract Background Microarray-based gene expression profiling has been widely used in biomedical research. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) can link microarray data directly to clinical traits and to identify rules for predicting pathological stage and prognosis of disease, it has been found useful in many biological ...

Identification of PDK4 as Hub Gene for Diabetic Nephropathy Using Co-Expression Network Analysis
Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is related to type 1 and type 2 diabetes. They are the leading cause of end-stage renal disease, but the underling specific pathogenesis of DN is not yet clear. Our study was conducted to explore how DN changed the

Identifying pancreatic cancer‑associated miRNAs using weighted gene co‑expression network analysis
Pancreatic cancer is a common type of gastrointestinal tumour throughout the world and is characterised by high malignancy rates and poor prognosis. Studies indicated that early and effective diagnosis is key to prolonging patients' overall survival, particularly in the case of fluid biopsy.

Co-expression networks in generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]
We developed an adenoviral vector, in which Yamanaka's four reprogramming factors (RFs) were controlled by individual CMV promoters in a single cassette (Ad-SOcMK). This permitted coordinated expression of RFs (SOX2, OCT3/4, c-MYC and KLF4) in a cell for

Dopamine perturbation of gene co-expression networks reveals differential response in schizophrenia for translational machinery. [PDF]
The dopaminergic hypothesis of schizophrenia (SZ) postulates that positive symptoms of SZ, in particular psychosis, are due to disturbed neurotransmission via the dopamine (DA) receptor D2 (DRD2).
