\title{
  Qualitative biclustering algorithm for expression data analysis
}
\description{
  QUBIC is a qualitative biclustering algorithm for high-throughput
  expression data analysis. \code{rqubic} package implements this
  algorithm in R, partly with the codes contributed by Haibao Tang and Qin Ma (version 0.23 released without
  any limitation).

  The \code{rqubic} package also provides parsers for the command
  line tool of qubic written in C.

Part of the source code in C is modified from the source code of the QUBIC
command line tool (in C) provided by Haibao Tang and Qin Ma
\email{maqin@csbl.bmb.uga.edu}, downloaded from
\url{http://csbl.bmb.uga.edu/~maqin/bicluster/} on 01.03.2011, version 0.23.

Source code of QUBIC also uses open-source data structure library
codes. See the README file included in the QUBIC command line tool source.
