Analyzing biological data using R: methods for graphs and networks

Nolwenn Le Meur et al. Methods Mol Biol. 2012.

Abstract

R is a powerful language and widely used software tool for the analysis and visualization of data. Its core capabilities can be extended through many different add-on packages. Among the many packages are some which offer a broad range of facilities for analyzing statistical properties of graphs. This chapter provides a practical tutorial covering the use of R methods for graphs and networks to examine biological data and analyze their topological and statistical properties.
