Are gene names same across species?
Gene names are not consistent across species. Most of the time genes are automatically annotated and the algorithms try to give names that are similar to their matches in other organisms, but not ...

How can I build a protein network pathway from a gene expression quantification file?
There are multiple ways to do this, and multiple protein interaction databases besides the ones you mentioned, such as BioGRID or IntAct. Interaction databases are different in how interactions are ...

What are the ways to process a list of differentially expressed genes?
You originally had asked a very broad question, so I'll try to demonstrate why that is such a hard question to answer. I've done two fairly large differential analysis studies (and a few smaller ones) ...

Network comparison of single cells (from sequencing data)
You can't build a network of a single cell only with the expression of a single cell. You either need previous known interactions or pathways or you need to use several cells/samples.

How to find closely related genes for a specific gene from WGCNA modules?
The simplest way is to re-calculate (or load, if saved) the TOM matrix and find the genes with the highest TOM to MALAT1. If you have enough RAM to carry out WGCNA in a single block, you can use ...
