Description: A Weighted Gene Network is a graphical representation that illustrates the interactions between genes, where each connection between them is associated with a weight indicating the strength or relevance of that relationship. This type of network allows researchers to visualize and analyze how genes influence each other, facilitating the identification of patterns and understanding complex biological processes. Connections can represent different types of interactions, such as genetic regulation, co-expression, or protein-protein interactions. The weighting of relationships is crucial, as not all interactions are equally significant; some may have a greater impact on cellular function or disease development. Weighted Gene Networks are powerful tools in bioinformatics, as they allow the integration of large volumes of genomic and transcriptomic data, helping scientists formulate hypotheses about the function of specific genes and their role in various biological conditions. Additionally, these networks can be used to identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in medical research.
