The aim of this study was to screen for key biomarkers of osteosarcoma (OS) by tracking altered modules. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks of OS and normal groups were constructed and re-weighted using the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC), respectively. The condition-specific modules were explored from OS and normal PPI networks using a clique-merging algorithm. Altered modules were identified by a maximum weight bipartite-matching method. The important biological pathways in OS were identified by a pathway-enrichment analysis using genes from disrupted modules.

Identification of hub genes and pathways associated with retinoblastoma based on co-expression network analysis

Q. L. Wang, Chen, X., Zhang, M. H., Shen, Q. H., and Qin, Z. M., Identification of hub genes and pathways associated with retinoblastoma based on co-expression network analysis, vol. 14, pp. 16151-16161, 2015.

The objective of this paper was to identify hub genes and pathways associated with retinoblastoma using centrality analysis of the co-expression network and pathway-enrichment analysis. The co-expression network of retinoblastoma was constructed by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) based on differentially expressed (DE) genes, and clusters were obtained through the molecular complex detection (MCODE) algorithm. Degree centrality analysis of the co-expression network was performed to explore hub genes present in retinoblastoma.
