Basics of WGCNA

Question

[brooke.bell1299]

I am new to bioinformatics and am trying to run WGCNA. I have someone who has developed R script for me; however, I hate not understanding what is going on. I know from previous posts there used to be some core documents/guides available; however, I am not seeing anything that is more recent. Does anyone have any recommendations where I should look?

The manual for the package is found here.

The archived documentation from the authors at UCLA is found here.

A simple google also showed some good tutorials/resources. See this detailed explanation, for example.

In R, you can also get the manual pages to launch in a browser for each function by adding a ? before the function. For example:

library(WGCNA)
?newConsensusTree()
