Motivation: Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) is an R package that can search highly related gene modules. The most time-consuming step of the whole analysis is to calculate the Topological Overlap Matrix (TOM) from the Adjacency Matrix in a single thread. This study changes it to multithreading. Results: This paper uses SQLite for multi-threaded data transfer between R and C++, uses OpenMP to enable multi-threading and calculates the TOM via an adjacency matrix on a
