Question about number of genes in the computed modules #154

Hi!
Thank you for your tool, it has been very helpful!

I was using your library to generate module genes. I set the following parameters in the PyWGCNA.WGCNA function:

pyWGCNA_Seleccionados = PyWGCNA.WGCNA(name='Seleccionados', geneExp = df_tpm, sampleInfo = metadata, minModuleSize = 50)

When I computed the modules, I noticed that some of them (that were not the grey) had less than 50 genes even though I set 50 genes as the minimum number of genes for the modules.

Is this normal behavior? Can I trust and use this modules with less than the minimum set for downstream analysis?

Thank you in advance :)
