Title: An R package for qualitative biclustering in support of gene
        co-expression analyses
Description: The core function of this R package is to provide the
        implementation of the well-cited and well-reviewed QUBIC
        algorithm, aiming to deliver an effective and efficient
        biclustering capability. This package also includes the
        following related functions: (i) a qualitative representation
        of the input gene expression data, through a well-designed
        discretization way considering the underlying data property,
        which can be directly used in other biclustering programs; (ii)
        visualization of identified biclusters using heatmap in support
        of overall expression pattern analysis; (iii) bicluster-based
        co-expression network elucidation and visualization, where
        different correlation coefficient scores between a pair of
        genes are provided; and (iv) a generalize output format of
        biclusters and corresponding network can be freely downloaded
        so that a user can easily do following comprehensive functional
        enrichment analysis (e.g. DAVID) and advanced network
        visualization (e.g. Cytoscape).
