Alignment Tools for Gene Coexpression Networks

Question

[Maria]

Hello,

I have these gene coexpression networks that I visualize via cytoscape. Would anyone know of any alignment tools for gene coexpression networks.

Thanks

Maria you need to elaborate little more about your problem.

[Maria]

I have two networks of gene coexpression and wants to align these two networks to see any similarity/connection of the nodes (protein protein interactions) based on the scores.

Thanks

Do you want to find out the overlap of genes in the two networks or to actually "align" the two network to see if their connectivity is the same?

Here you find mainly tools for aligning PPI networks, but maybe among them you can find something of interest for your purpose.

You can construct co-expression networks from your gene expression experiments and compare them (align them) using various algorithms and methods (using degree centrality, clustering coefficient or random walk methods) with InSyBio BioNets (a demo is available here and you can request for a free one month access at [e-mail]).
