PPInfer : a Bioconductor package for inferring functionally related proteins using protein interaction networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Interactions between proteins occur in many, if not most, biological processes. This fact has motivated the development of a variety of experimental methods for the identification of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Leveraging PPI data available STRING database, we use network-based statistical learning methods to infer the putative functions of proteins from the known functions of neighboring proteins on a PPI network. This package identifies such proteins often involved in the same or similar biological functions. The package is freely available at the Bioconductor web site ( ). http://bioconductor.org/packages/PPInfer/ This article is included in the gateway. RPackage This article is included in the Bioconductor gateway. 1

متن کاملPath2PPI: an R package to predict protein–protein interaction networks for a set of proteins
UNLABELLED : We introduce Path2PPI, a new R package to identify protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks for fully sequenced organisms for which nearly none PPI are known. Path2PPI predicts PPI networks based on sets of proteins from well-established model organisms, providing an intuitive visualization and usability. It can be used to combine and transfer information of a certain pathway or ...

Backgroud: Protein-protein interaction, plays a key role in signal transduction in signaling pathways. Different approaches are used for prediction of these interactions including experimental and computational approaches. In conventional node-edge protein-protein interaction networks, we can only see which proteins interact but ‘structural networks’ show us how these proteins inter...
متن کاملRcpi: R/Bioconductor package to generate various descriptors of proteins, compounds and their interactions
UNLABELLED In chemoinformatics and bioinformatics fields, one of the main computational challenges in various predictive modeling is to find a suitable way to effectively represent the molecules under investigation, such as small molecules, proteins and even complex interactions. To solve this problem, we developed a freely available R/Bioconductor package, called Compound-Protein Interaction w...
متن کاملIntegrating literature-constrained and data-driven inference of signalling networks
MOTIVATION Recent developments in experimental methods facilitate increasingly larger signal transduction datasets. Two main approaches can be taken to derive a mathematical model from these data: training a network (obtained, e.g., from literature) to the data, or inferring the network from the data alone. Purely data-driven methods scale up poorly and have limited interpretability, whereas li...
