Network-based analysis reveals novel gene signatures in peripheral blood of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract excerpt

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently the third leading cause of death and there is a huge unmet clinical need to identify disease biomarkers in peripheral blood. Compared to gene level differential expression approaches to identify gene signatures, network analyses provide a biologically intuitive approach which leverages the co-expression patterns in the transcriptome to identify modules of...
