Thanks for helping

You can identify modules and their hub genes using WGCNA

Hello Wouter

I have six samples. Can I use WGCNA to find hub gene.

I have one more query, in WGCA, I need to prepare clinical trait. I do not have the clinical trait, I have RNA seq value for each sample. How I should prepare CSV file for clinical trait.

By definition a hub is a high-degree node. You find them by looking at the distribution of node degrees for your graph. If working with the adjacency matrix, node degrees are easily obtained by summing over the rows/columns.
