Extract hub features from WGCNA modules

Identifies hub features within each module using module membership (kME). For unsigned networks, absolute kME values are used to reproduce the behaviour of WGCNA::blockwiseModules(). For signed and signed hybrid networks, signed kME values are retained.

Usage

extract_hubs(net, top_n = 3, exclude_grey = TRUE)

Arguments

net

An output object from run_WGCNA()

top_n

Number of hub features to return per module. Default: 3.

exclude_grey

Logical; if TRUE, exclude the grey/unassigned module. Default: TRUE.

Value

A character vector containing the top top_n features from each module concatenated together.

Examples

data(example_net)
hubs <- extract_hubs(example_net, top_n = 3)
