PredictingCharacteristics

Chen, P., Deane, C.M., Reinert G. 2007. Bioinformatics, Vol 23, 17, 2314-2321

All programs (*.pyc) are compiled using Python 2.4. 

Run PYC files. Please follow the popup questions and input the corresponing filenames for a successful prediction.

Upcast set of category-category interactions

  • based on the pairwise protein interactions and protein annotation

  • pairs of characteristic categories

  • single characteristic, multiple characteristics (for enhanced method)

Upcast set of triples (triples, triangles, lines) of characteristic categories

  • based on the triple-wise protein interactions and protein annotation

  • triples (triples, triangles, lines) of characteristic categories

  • single characteristic, multiple characteristics (for enhanced method)

Query proteins 

  • A list of proteins to be predicted. 

  • The interactions between these proteins and the others are known. For enhanced methods, at least one characteristics of there proteins is known.

Methods

Pair-based

Triplet-based (network-based)


Example -- Predicting the functions of 5 selected proteins.

Datasets

Convert classifications from txt file to Python shelve PYC file 

Output -- structural classification (shelve), functional classification (shelve)

Construct upcast set of category-category interactions PYC file 

Output -- use structure classification, function classification, and both classifications

Construct upcast set of triples (triples, triangles, lines) of characteristic categories PYC file

Output -- use structural classification (triples, triangles, lines)

Output -- use functional classifcation (triples, triangles, lines)

Output -- use both classifcations (triples, triangles, lines)
