N2 - We make the PCIT algorithm, used for detecting meaningful gene-gene associations in co-expression networks, available as an R package. 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.rproject. org/package=PCIT, implemented in R and supported on Linux and MS Windows.
