PPInfer

Most biological processes involve interactions between proteins. Proteins often function in networks associated with other proteins and biomolecules. To identify such interactions, a variety of experimental methods have been developed. These methods have led to the development of numerous computational approaches for modeling and predicting protein interactions.

PPInfer is a software tool that uses a network-based statistical learning method to infer the putative functions of proteins from the known functions of their neighboring proteins on a PPI network. This tool is particularly useful for identifying proteins often involved in the same or similar biological functions.
