+ # CryptoCEN: A Co-expression network for *Cryptococcus neoformans*
12
+ Elucidating gene function is a major goal in biology, especially among non-model organisms.
13
+ However, doing so is complicated by the fact that molecular conservation does not always
14
+ mirror functional conservation, and that complex relationships among genes are responsible
15
+ for encoding pathways and higher-order biological processes. Co-expression, a promising
16
+ approach for predicting gene function, relies on the general principal that genes with
17
+ similar expression patterns across multiple conditions will likely be involved in the
18
+ same biological process. For Cryptococcus neoformans, a prevalent human fungal pathogen
19
+ greatly diverged from model yeasts, approximately 60% of the predicted genes in the genome
20
+ lack functional annotations. Here, we leveraged a large amount of publicly available
21
+ transcriptomic data to generate a C. neoformans Co-Expression Network (CryptoCEN),
22
+ successfully recapitulating known protein networks, predicting gene function, and
23
+ enabling insights into the principles influencing co-expression. With 100% predictive
24
+ accuracy, we used CryptoCEN to identify 13 new DNA damage response genes, underscoring
25
+ the utility of guilt-by-association for determining gene function. Overall, co-expression
26
+ is a powerful tool for uncovering gene function, and decreases the experimental tests
27
+ needed to identify functions for currently under-annotated genes.
