METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING TEMPLATE FOR CONSTRUCTING PROTEIN INTERACTION NETWORK

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for automatically generating a template for constructing a protein interaction network is provided to reduce a network construction expense by automatically generating the basic template for the interaction network of an object protein based on the interaction network of the proteins, which are present in other species, similar to the object protein. CONSTITUTION: The proteins of a function similar to the object protein are searched from many species(S202). The interaction network of the searched proteins is generated based on a previously defined interaction relation database(S204). A similarity relation between the proteins existing in the generated interaction networks is set(S206). The network template of the object protein is generated by integrating the protein nodes between the different networks setting the similarity relation(S207).
