Abstract
En 中文
The development of multi-omics technologies has generated an abundance of biological datasets, providing valuable resources for investigating potential relationships within complex biological systems. However, most correlation analysis tools face computational challenges when dealing with these high-dimensional datasets containing millions of features. Here, we introduce pyNetCor, a fast and scalable tool for constructing correlation networks on large-scale and high-dimensional data. PyNetCor features optimized algorithms for both full correlation coefficient matrix computation and top-k correlation search, outperforming other tools in the field in terms of runtime and memory consumption. It utilizes a linear interpolation strategy to rapidly estimate P-values and achieve false discovery rate control, demonstrating a speedup of over 110 times compared to existing methods. Overall, pyNetCor supports large-scale correlation analysis, a crucial foundational step for various bioinformatics workflows, and can be easily integrated into downstream applications to accelerate the process of extracting biological insights from data.
