Automatic detection of a suitable parallel environment is used such that scripts are portable between parallel and non-parallel environments with no modification of the script. Availability and implementation: Source code and binaries freely available (under GPL-3) for download via CRAN at http://cran.r-project.org/package=PCIT, implemented in R and supported on Linux and MS Windows.en© The Author 2009Gene Expression ProfilingComputational BiologyAlgorithmsSoftwareDatabases, GeneticGene Regulatory NetworksPCIT: an R package for weighted gene co-expression networks based on partial correlation and information theory approachesJournal article002012819110.1093/bioinformatics/btp6740002743428000202-s2.0-7794950039119630Watson-Haigh, N.
