This chapter is based on exploiting the network-based representations of proteins, metagraphs, in protein-protein interaction network to identify candidate disease-causing proteins. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are effective tools in studying the functional roles of proteins in the development of various diseases. However, they are insufficient without the support of additional biological knowledge for proteins such as their molecular functions and biological processes. To enhance PPI networks, we utilize biological properties of individual proteins as well. More specifically, we integrate keywords from UniProt database describing protein properties into the PPI network and construct a novel heterogeneous PPI-Keyword (PPIK) network consisting …
