            that meets an FPKM threshold, i.e. likely presence absense). See parameters for more

            Parameters
            ----------
            min_expr : int (default: 1)
                FPKM (or equivalent) values under this threshold will be set to NaN and
                not used during correlation calculations.
            max_gene_missing_data : float (default: 0.2)
                Maximum percentage missing data a gene can have. Genes under this are removed
                from dataset.
            min_single_sample_expr : int (default: 5)
                Genes that do not have a single accession having an expression value above this
                threshold are removed from analysis. These are likely presence/absence and will
                not have a strong coexpression pattern.
            max_accession_missing_data : float (default: 0.5)
                maximum percentage missing data an accession (experiment) can have before
                it is removed.
            membership : RefGen 
                Genes which are not contained within this RefGen will be removed. Note: this could
                also be another object that will implement an interface that will check to see if 
                gene ids are contained within it i.e. a set of gene ids.
            dry_run : bool (default: False)
                Used in testing to speed up calculations. Limits the QC dataframe to only have

                A Camoco refgen object which describes the reference
                genome referred to by the genes in the dataset. This 
                is cross references during import so we can pull information

            quality_control : bool (Default: True)
                A flag which specifies whether or not to perform QC. Parameters for QC are passed

                see Expr._quality_control.

            Creates an Expr instance from a pandas DataFrame. Expects that the DataFrame

            rawtype : str (one of: 'RNASEQ' or 'MICROARRAY')
                Specifies the fundamental datatype used to measure expression. During importation
                of the raw expression data, this value is used to make decisions in converting data
                to log-space. 
            normalize : bool (Default: True)
                Specifies whether or not to normalize the data so raw expression values

            norm_method : None OR python function
                If rawtype is NOT RNASEQ or MICROARRY AND normalize is still True, the normalization
                method for the raw expression values needs to be passed in. This is for extreme customization

            Perform Quality Control on raw expression data. This method filters
            genes based on membership to some RefGen instance, filters based on
            a minimum FPKM or equivalent expression value, filters out genes
            and accessions with too much missing data, filters out genes which
            are lowly expressed (do not have at least one accession that meets
            an FPKM threshold, i.e. likely presence absense). See parameters
            for more details.

            Parameters
            ----------
            min_expr : int (default: 1)
                FPKM (or equivalent) values under this threshold will be set to
                NaN and not used during correlation calculations.
            max_gene_missing_data : float (default: 0.2)
                Maximum percentage missing data a gene can have. Genes under
                this are removed from dataset.
            min_single_sample_expr : int (default: 5)
                Genes that do not have a single accession having an expression
                value above this threshold are removed from analysis. These are
                likely presence/absence and will not have a strong coexpression
                pattern.
            max_accession_missing_data : float (default: 0.5)
                maximum percentage missing data an accession (experiment) can
                have before it is removed.
            membership : RefGen 
                Genes which are not contained within this RefGen will be
                removed. Note: this could also be another object that will
                implement an interface that will check to see if gene ids are
                contained within it i.e. a set of gene ids.
            dry_run : bool (default: False)
                Used in testing to speed up calculations. Limits the QC
                dataframe to only have 5000 genes.
