How to understand that activity score is not matching well with gene expression? #170

Hi, thanks for developing such great software!

I have a question about how to understand the result of SCENIC. The first step of the workflow is to do the co-expression analysis between TF and genes. However, when I return back to see the correlation between the TF and its target gene, I didn't find a good correlation there. In addition, the activity score of regulon is not well matching with the gene expression. So how to understand this result?

I find there is an issue related to my question: https://github.com/aertslab/SCENIC/issues/37

Thanks for any suggestion or response.

Best, Dongxu
