متن کاملImprovements in Protein Function Prediction Using Confidence in Protein Interactions
Characterizing protein function is a crucial part of understanding biological systems. Here we improve protein function prediction by accounting for data quality issues inherent in protein-protein interaction (PPI) databases. To accomplish this, we incorporate confidence information into the function prediction pipeline. The model pipeline uses weighted majority voting on the proteinprotein int...
