Abstract: | Background Progress in the life sciences cannot be made without integrating biomedical knowledge on numerous genes in order to help formulate
hypotheses on the genetic mechanisms behind various biological phenomena, including diseases. There is thus a strong need
for a way to automatically and comprehensively search from biomedical databases for related genes, such as genes in the same
families and genes encoding components of the same pathways. Here we address the extraction of related genes by searching
for densely-connected subgraphs, which are modeled as cliques, in a biomedical relational graph. |
