qpgraph-package {qpgraph}R Documentation

Estimation of genetic and molecular regulatory networks from high-throughput genomics data

Description

Estimate gene and eQTL networks from high-throughput expression and genotyping assays.

Functions

This package provides an implementation of the procedures described in (Castelo and Roverato, 2006, 2009) and (Tur, Roverato and Castelo, 2014). An example of its use for reverse-engineering of transcriptional regulatory networks from microarray data is available in the vignette qpTxRegNet and, the same directory, contains a pre-print of a book chapter describing the basic functionality of the package which serves the purpose of a basic users's guide. This package is a contribution to the Bioconductor (Gentleman et al., 2004) and gR (Lauritzen, 2002) projects.
