Dear All,
I have a dual channel microarray dataset with just three biological replicates. I plan to analyze the gene co-expression network from this data. But my biggest concern here is just 3 biological replicates adequate to do this analysis ? Does anybody know any paper mentioning the effect of sample sizes on co-expression networks ?
Thank you in advance.
What do you mean by gene co-expression network here ?
generating a network of genes that are co-expressed in the samples where nodes will be the genes and weighing the edges with correlation values of expression between them
