Construction of weighted co-expression network. a, b Analysis of network topology for a set of soft‐thresholding powers. c Cluster dendrogram. Each color represents one specific co-expression module, and branches above represent genes. d Heatmap of the correlation between modules and clinical characteristics including airway inflammation type (paucigranulocytic inflammation or non-paucigranulocytic inflammation), age, gender and smoking status. Each cell contains the correlation coefficient which correspond to the cell color: red represents positive correlation and blue represents negative correlation. p values are stated in the brackets
