+  abstract     = {BACKGROUND: Correlation networks are increasingly being used in bioinformatics applications. For example, weighted gene co-expression network analysis is a systems biology method for describing the correlation patterns among genes across microarray samples. Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) can be used for finding clusters (modules) of highly correlated genes, for summarizing such clusters using the module eigengene or an intramodular hub gene, for relating modules to one another and to external sample traits (using eigengene network methodology), and for calculating module membership measures. Correlation networks facilitate network based gene screening methods that can be used to identify candidate biomarkers or therapeutic targets. These methods have been successfully applied in various biological contexts, e.g. cancer, mouse genetics, yeast genetics, and analysis of brain imaging data. While parts of the correlation network methodology have been described in separate publications, there is a need to provide a user-friendly, comprehensive, and consistent software implementation and an accompanying tutorial. RESULTS: The WGCNA R software package is a comprehensive collection of R functions for performing various aspects of weighted correlation network analysis. The package includes functions for network construction, module detection, gene selection, calculations of topological properties, data simulation, visualization, and interfacing with external software. Along with the R package we also present R software tutorials. While the methods development was motivated by gene expression data, the underlying data mining approach can be applied to a variety of different settings. CONCLUSION: The WGCNA package provides R functions for weighted correlation network analysis, e.g. co-expression network analysis of gene expression data. The R package along with its source code and additional material are freely available at http://www.genetics.ucla.edu/labs/horvath/CoexpressionNetwork/Rpackages/WGCNA.}

For the mouse cohort, we amassed a deep and broad open-access phenome consisting of approximately 4,500 metabolic, physiological, pharmacological and behavioural traits, and more than 90 independent expression quantitative trait locus (QTL), transcriptome, proteome, metagenome and metabolome data sets--by far the largest coherent phenome for any experimental cohort (www.genenetwork.org). We tested downstream effects of subsets of variants and discovered several novel associations, including a missense mutation in fumarate hydratase that controls variation in the mitochondrial unfolded protein response in both mouse and Caenorhabditis elegans, and missense mutations in Col6a5 that underlies variation in bone mineral density in both mouse and human.}

MQM adds higher statistical power to detect and disentangle the effects of multiple linked and unlinked QTL compared with many other methods. MQM for R/qtl adds many new features including improved handling of missing data, analysis of 10,000 s of molecular traits, permutation for determining significance thresholds for QTL and QTL hot spots, and visualizations for cis-trans and QTL interaction effects. MQM for R/qtl is the first free and open source implementation of MQM that is multi-platform, scalable and suitable for automated procedures and large genetical genomics datasets. AVAILABILITY: R/qtl is free and open source multi-platform software for the statistical language R, and is made available under the GPLv3 license. R/qtl can be installed from http://www.rqtl.org/. R/qtl queries should be directed at the mailing list, see http://www.rqtl.org/list/. CONTACT: kbroman@biostat.wisc.edu.},

+# Summary
+
+GeneNetwork (GN) is a free and open source (FOSS) framework for
+web-based genetics that can be deployed anywhere. GN allows biologists
+to upload high-throughput experimental data, such as expression data
+from microarrays and RNA-seq, and also `classic' phenotypes, such as
+disease phenotypes.  These phenotypes can be mapped interactively
+against genotypes using embedded tools, such as R/QTL [@Arends:2010]
+mapping, interval mapping for model organisms and pylmm; an
+implementation of FaST-LMM [@Lippert:2011] which is more suitable for
+human populations and outbred crosses, such as the mouse diversity
+outcross. Interactive D3 graphics are included from R/qtlcharts and
+presentation-ready figures can be generated. Recently we have added
+functionality for phenotype correlation [@Wang:2016] and network
+analysis [@WGCNA:2008].
+
+-![Mouse LMM mapping example](qtl2.png)
+
+GN is written in python and javascript and contains a rich set of
+tools and libraries that can be written in any computer language. A
+full list of included software can be found in the package named
+`genenetwork2' and defined in
+[guix-bioinformatics](https://github.com/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics/blob/master/gn/packages/genenetwork.scm). To
+make it easy to install GN locally in a byte reproducible way,
+including all dependencies and a 2GB MySQL test database (the full
+database is 160GB and growing), GN is packaged with
+[GNU Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/), as described
+[here](https://github.com/genenetwork/genenetwork2/blob/master/doc/README.org).
+GNU Guix deployment makes it feasible to deploy and rebrand GN
+anywhere.
+
+# Future work
+
+More mapping tools will be added, including support for Genome-wide
+Efficient Mixed Model Association (GEMMA). The
+[Biodiallance genome browser](http://www.biodalliance.org/) is being
+added as a Google Summer of Code project with special tracks related
+to QTL mapping and network analysis. Faster LMM solutions are being
+worked on, including GPU support.
+
+A REST interface is being added so that data can be uploaded to a
+server, analysis run remotely on high performance hardware, and
+results downloaded and used for further analysis. This feature will
+allow biologist-programmers to use R and Python on their computer and
+execute computations on GN enabled servers.
