Choi, H. et al. SAINT: probabilistic scoring of affinity purification-mass spectrometry data. Nat Methods 8, 70-73 (2011). PMID:18823568.

  • This publication discusses a computational tool (SAINT) to assign confidence scores to protein-protein interaction data generated using AP-MS. They have shown that SAINT is applicable to data of different scales and protein connectivity and allows transparent analysis of AP-MS data. This could also be used to filter AP-MS datasets containing non-specifically binding proteins. They have evaluated the performance of SAINT algorithm using iRefWeb and BioGRID. The iRefWeb search filters and parameters provide a nice way to construct custom data sets.

Croft, D. et al. Reactome: a database of reactions, pathways and biological processes. Nucleic Acids Res 39, D691-697 (2011). PMID 21067998.

  • Curated bioinformatics database of human pathways and reactions. Uses PSIQUIC web services to overlay curated pathways with molecular interaction data from the Reactome Functional Interaction Network and external interaction databases such as IntAct, BioGRID, ChEMBL, iRefIndex, MINT and STRING. Expression Analysis tools enable ID mapping, pathway assignment and overrepresentation analysis of user-supplied data sets.

Gillis, J. & Pavlidis, P. The role of indirect connections in gene networks in predicting function. Bioinformatics (2011). PMID 21551147.

  • Gene interactions can be used to infer functional relationships using a principle known as “guilt by association” (GBA).This research focuses on a extension of these methods, which is to incorporate the broader network structure (indirect connections among genes) into predictions. The iRefIndex data was used as a source when constructing the human PPI Network.

Hao, Y. et al. OrthoNets: simultaneous visual analysis of orthologs and their interaction neighborhoods across different organisms. Bioinformatics 27, 883-884 (2011). PMID: 21257609.

  • Cytoscape plugin that displays protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks from two organisms simultaneously, highlighting orthology relationships and aggregating several types of biomedical annotations. The iRefIndex data was used as PPI source.

Jain, S. & Bader, G.D. An improved method for scoring protein-protein interactions using semantic similarity within the gene ontology. BMC Bioinformatics 11, 562 (2010). PMID 21078182.

  • More semantically similar the gene function annotations are among the interacting proteins, more likely the interaction is physiologically relevant. This method described in this paper uses this principle and will be useful as an evidence source in PPI prediction or in confidence assessment of PPI datasets. Compared to other such methods the algorithm described here considers unequal depth of biological knowledge representation in different branches of the GO graph. The iRefWeb was used to generate the data set.

Terada, A. & Sese, J. Discovering large network motifs from a complex biological network. Journal of Physics: Conference Series 197, 012011 (2009).

  • Basic biological processes are highly related to each other. Network motif discovery detects frequently appearing network structures and also determines the role of vertices in a network. In this study, a novel algorithm called ARIANA was developed to find large network motifs even when the network has noise and uncertainty. By applying ARIANA to a real biological network, authors have found network motifs associated with regulation of cell. The iRefIndex was used construct a biological dataset to test this algorithm.

Turinsky, A.L. et al. DAnCER: disease-annotated chromatin epigenetics resource. Nucleic Acids Res 39, D889-894 (2011). PMID 20876685.

  • Chromatin modification (CM) is a set of epigenetic processes that govern many aspects of DNA replication, transcription and repair. DAnCER resource integrates information on genes with CM function from five model organisms, including human. DAnCER integrates. disease information and functional annotations are mapped onto the protein interaction networks (constructed using iRefIndex), enabling the user to formulate new hypotheses on the function and disease associations of a given gene based on those of its interaction partners.

Valsesia, A. et al. Network-guided analysis of genes with altered somatic copy number and gene expression reveals pathways commonly perturbed in metastatic melanoma. PLoS One 6, e18369 (2011). PMID 21494657.

  • Cancer genomes contain somatic copy number alterations (SCNA) that can significantly disturb the expression level of affected genes. This can disrupt pathways controlling normal growth. Using karyotyping, SNP and CGH arrays, and RNA-seq, they have identified SCNA affecting gene expression in human metastatic melanoma cell lines. They have showed that the combination of these techniques is useful to identify candidate genes potentially involved in tumorigenesis. A protein network-guided approach was used to determine whether any pathways were enriched in SCNA-genes in one or more samples.They have investigated whether the proteins encoded by the SCNA-genes were connected in known human protein interaction networks. In the protein network-guided analysis of SCNA, iRefIndex and Pathway Commons were used.

Zhang, K.X. & Ouellette, B.F. CAERUS: predicting CAncER oUtcomeS using relationship between protein structural information, protein networks, gene expression data, and mutation data. PLoS Comput Biol 7, e1001114 (2011). PMID 21483478.

  • CAERUS: Predicting cancer outcomes Using Relationship between Protein Structural Information, Protein Networks, Gene Expression Data and Mutation Data. Carcinogenesis is a complex process with multiple genetic and environmental factors contributing to the development of one or more tumors. CAERUS can be used for identification of gene signatures to predict cancer outcomes based on the domain interaction network in human proteome. This work provides a prognostic tool to classify different cancer outcomes. When constructing the protein network iRefIndex was used.
