TY - JOUR AU - Martínez, Víctor AU - Cano, Carlos AU - Blanco, Armando PY - 2014 DA - 2014/01/10 TI - ProphNet: A generic prioritization method through propagation of information JO - BMC Bioinformatics SP - S5 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - Prioritization methods have become an useful tool for mining large amounts of data to suggest promising hypotheses in early research stages. Particularly, network-based prioritization tools use a network representation for the interactions between different biological entities to identify novel indirect relationships. However, current network-based prioritization tools are strongly tailored to specific domains of interest (e.g. gene-disease prioritization) and they do not allow to consider networks with more than two types of entities (e.g. genes and diseases). Therefore, the direct application of these methods to accomplish new prioritization tasks is limited.
