using protein interaction database and support vector machine to improve gene signatures for prediction of breast cancer recurrence

background: numerous studies used microarray gene expression data to extract metastasis-driving gene signatures for the prediction of breast cancer relapse. however, the accuracy and generality of the previously introduced biomarkers are not acceptable for reliable usage in independent datasets. this inadequacy is attributed to ignoring gene interactions by simple feature selection methods, due...
