MCODE is a Cytoscape !PlugIn designed to aid in cluster discovery. Clusters are deemed to be highly interconnected regions within a network. Depending on the type of network, clusters may mean different things. For instance, clustering of protein-protein interaction networks has been shown to produce protein complexes and parts of pathways. Clusters in a protein similarity network represent protein families. | MCODE is a [http://cytoscape.org Cytoscape] plugin that finds clusters (highly interconnected regions) in a network.
