Weighted Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA) is a systems biology method used for analyzing the relationships between genes or other biological features in high-throughput data, such as gene expression profiles. The primary goal of WGCNA is to identify clusters (modules) of highly correlated genes and to correlate these modules with external traits or clinical outcomes.
