Construction of the gene coexpression network for PAAD. a Checking the scale-free topology when β = 12. b The consensus gene dendrogram and corresponding module colors are shown. The vertical axis represents the gene expression value, and the horizontal axis represents the genes. Each vertical line in the dendrogram relates to a gene, and each branch indicates highly coexpressed genes as a module (one color). Twelve modules were detected and merged into 10 main modules. c Module-trait relationships. Each row represents a ME, the two columns represent the immune score and tumor purity, and each cell contains the corresponding correlation and P value. The matrix is color-coded by correlation according to the color legend. d Scatterplot of gene significance (y-axis) vs. module membership (x-axis) in the most significant module (pink module, see panel c)
