Link clustering explains non-central essential genes in protein interaction networks
2019-01-28
Abstract excerpt
Essential genes (EGs) often form central nodes in protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. However, many reports have shown that numerous EGs are non-central, suggesting that another principle governs gene essentiality. We propose link clustering as a distinct indicator of the essentiality for non-central nodes. Specifically, in various human and yeast PPI networks, we found that 29 to 47% of EGs were better ch...
