In palenic/genePrioritization: Find Potential Disease-Related Genes

#' genePrioritization - Find potential disease-related genes
#'
#' The \code{genePrioritization} package finds potential disease-related genes
#' based on their coexpression with known disease-related "seed" genes,
#' starting from
#' a gene expression count matrix. The package computes a ranked co-expression
#' list for each seed gene; each candidate gene is assigned the product of its
#' ranks within these lists as a total score, according to which the candidates
#' are finally ranked. Higher ranked genes should be functionally linked to the
#' disease related genes and can thus have a role in the disease.
