QUBIC
(Package: QUBIC) :
QUBIC: A Qualitative Biclustering Algorithm for Analyses of Gene Expression Data
QUBIC is a biclustering package, with source code upgrading from C code to C++ code. The updated source code can avoid memory allocation error and is much efficient than the original one. Based on our preliminary analysis, it can save 40% running time on a plant microarray data.
quheatmap
(Package: QUBIC) :
Visualization of identified biclusters
This function can visualize the identifed biclusters using heatmap in support of overall expression pattern analysis,either for a single bicluster or two biclusters.
This function can convert the constructed co-expression networks into XGMML format, which can be used to do further network analysis in Cytoscape, Biomax and JNets.
qunetwork
(Package: QUBIC) :
Construction and visualization of co-expression network
This function can automatically create co-expression networks along with their visualization based on identified biclusters in QUBIC. Three correlation methods, Pearson, Kendall and Spearman, are available for a user, facilitating different preferences in practical usage.
