Using MCL to extract clusters from networks

Methods Mol Biol. 2012:804:281-95. doi: 10.1007/978-1-61779-361-5_15.

Abstract

MCL is a general purpose cluster algorithm for both weighted and unweighted networks. The algorithm utilises network topology as well as edge weights, is highly scalable and has been applied in a wide variety of bioinformatic methods. In this chapter, we give protocols and case studies for clustering of networks derived from, respectively, protein sequence similarities and gene expression profile correlations.
