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/.
