A density-based approach for detecting complexes in weighted PPI networks by semantic similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Protein complex detection in PPI networks plays an important role in analyzing biological processes. A new algorithm-DBGPWN-is proposed for predicting complexes in PPI networks. Firstly, a method based on gene ontology is used to measure semantic similarities between interacted proteins, and the similarity values are used as their weights. Then, a density-based graph partitioning algorithm is developed to find clusters in the weighted PPI networks, and the identified ones are considered to be dense and similar. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves good performance as compared with such algorithms as MCL, CMC, MCODE, RNSC, CORE, ClusterOne and FGN.

Reconstruction of signaling pathways is crucial for understanding cellular mechanisms. A pathway is represented as a path of a signaling cascade involving a series of proteins to perform a particular function. Since a protein pair involved in signaling and response have a strong interaction, putative pathways can be detected from protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. However, predicting d...
