Localized network centrality and essentiality in the yeast–protein interaction network

Abstract excerpt

It has been suggested that a close relationship exists between gene essentiality and network centrality in protein-protein interaction networks. However, recent studies have reported somewhat conflicting results on this relationship. In this study, we investigated whether essential proteins could be inferred from network centrality alone. In addition, we determined which centrality measures describe the...
