Abstract (Summary of the Work)

One of the important problems in functional genomics is how to select the disease genes. In this regard, the paper presents a new similarity measure to compute the functional similarity between two genes. It is based on the information of protein-protein interaction networks. A new gene selection algorithm is introduced to identify disease genes, integrating judiciously the information of gene expression profiles and protein-protein interaction networks. The proposed algorithm selects a set of genes from microarray data as disease genes by maximizing the relevance and functional similarity of the selected genes. The performance of the proposed algorithm, along with a comparison with other related methods, is demonstrated on colorectal cancer data set.
