PRINCIPLE: a tool for associating genes with diseases via network propagation

Bioinformatics. 2011 Dec 1;27(23):3325-6. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btr584. Epub 2011 Oct 20.

Abstract

Summary: PRINCIPLE is a Java application implemented as a Cytoscape plug-in, based on a previously published algorithm, PRINCE. Given a query disease, it prioritizes disease-related genes based on their closeness in a protein-protein interaction network to genes causing phenotypically similar disorders to the query disease.

Availability: Implemented in Java, PRINCIPLE runs over Cytoscape 2.7 or newer versions. Binaries, default input files and documentation are freely available at http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~bnet/software/PrincePlugin/.
