DEGGs: an R package with shiny app for the identification of differentially expressed gene-gene interactions in high-throughput sequencing data.

SUMMARY: The discovery of differential gene-gene correlations across phenotypical groups can help identify the activation/deactivation of critical biological processes underlying specific conditions. The presented R package, provided with a count and design matrix, extract networks of group-specific interactions that can be interactively explored through a shiny user-friendly interface. For each gene-gene link, differential statistical significance is provided through robust linear regression with an interaction term. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: DEGGs is implemented in R and available on GitHub at https://github.com/elisabettasciacca/DEGGs. The package is also under submission on Bioconductor.
