Get housekeeping genes from global expression profile

Description

Get housekeeping genes from global expression profile

Usage

get_HK(exp)

Arguments

exp	A gene expression data frame with genes in row names and samples in column names or a 'SummarizedExperiment' object.

Details

This function identifies housekeeping genes, which are broadly expressed genes with low variation in a global scale across samples. For some cases, users would want to remove these genes as they are not interesting for coexpression network analyses. See references for more details.

Value
