TLDR
The functional-linkage network is used to prioritize candidate genes for 110 diseases, and to reliably disclose hidden associations between disease pairs having dissimilar phenotypes, such as hypercholesterolemia and Alzheimer's disease.Abstract:
We integrate 16 genomic features to construct an evidence-weighted functional-linkage network comprising 21,657 human genes. The functional-linkage network is used to prioritize candidate genes for 110 diseases, and to reliably disclose hidden associations between disease pairs having dissimilar phenotypes, such as hypercholesterolemia and Alzheimer's disease. Many of these disease-disease associations are supported by epidemiology, but with no previous genetic basis. Such associations can drive novel hypotheses on molecular mechanisms of diseases and therapies.read more

TL;DR: It is shown how network techniques can help in the identification of single-target, edgetic, multi-target and allo-network drug target candidates and an optimized protocol of network-aided drug development is suggested, and a list of systems-level hallmarks of drug quality is provided.

Prioritizing candidate disease genes by network-based boosting of genome-wide association data
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a functional network of human genes provides a valuable statistical framework for prioritizing candidate disease genes, both for candidate gene-based and GWAS-based studies.

Computational tools for prioritizing candidate genes: boosting disease gene discovery
TL;DR: Computational methods that integrate complex, heterogeneous data sets — such as expression data, sequence information, functional annotation and the biomedical literature — allow prioritizing genes for future study in a more informed way to substantially increase the yield of downstream studies.

Genome-wide inferring gene–phenotype relationship by walking on the heterogeneous network
Yongjin Li,Jagdish C. Patra +1 more
TL;DR: A heterogeneous network is constructed by connecting the gene network and phenotype network using the phenotype-gene relationship information from the OMIM database using leave-one-out cross-validation to evaluate the ability of finding the gene-phenotype relationship.

Rational association of genes with traits using a genome-scale gene network for Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: A probabilistic network (AraNet) of functional associations among 19,647 genes of the reference flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is presented, and associations are predictive for diverse biological pathways, and outperform predictions derived only from literature-based protein interactions.

The KEGG resource for deciphering the genome
TL;DR: A knowledge-based approach for network prediction is developed, which is to predict, given a complete set of genes in the genome, the protein interaction networks that are responsible for various cellular processes.
