Discovering Disease Genes through Network-based Prediction Method

Just as detectives use clues to solve mysteries, researchers use computational methods to uncover the genes behind diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. In this study, scientists introduced a prediction method called preserving structure network embedding (PSNE). They constructed a complex network by combining disease-gene associations, human protein networks, and disease-disease associations. By extracting low-dimensional features […]
