A tool to explore large network of genes, generated based on the co-occurence of the genes across several strains

geNet

The geNet tool is an R package that aims to generate an interactive network of genes in which each node is a gene and each edge measures the intensity of the relationship between two nodes. The geNet package has two main components:

  1. The geNet algorithm:
  • Generating weightened connections of genes based on their occurences across several strains.
  • Clustering the nodes based on these weightened connections.
  1. A visualization framework to easy navigate large networks of genes.

The visualization framework includes a separate shiny app built on top of the geNet visualization framework functions that allows an interactive exploration of the network. You can find additional documentation in the introduction_geNet folder: introduction_to_geNet.pdf, geNet_functions.pdf
