#' Compute mutual information matrix
#' 
#' This function will use the `buid.mim` function in the `minet` package to compute the mutal information matrix in the gene space.
#' @param data  Data matrix. This is an NxM matrix, where genes are on the rows and samples on the columns
#' @return Returns the mutual information matrix for the data.
