| Abstract |
|---|
Background Mixture Model on Graphs (MMG) is a probabilistic model that integrates network topology with (gene, protein) expression data to predict the regulation state of genes and proteins from high-throughput data. It is remarkably robust to missing data, a feature particularly important for its use in Quantitative Proteomics. A new implementation in C and interfaced with R makes MMG extremely fast and easy to use and to extend.
Availability The original implementation (Matlab) is still available from http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~guido/; the new implementation is available from http://wrightlab.group.shef.ac.uk/people_noirel.htm, from CRAN, and has been submitted to BioConductor, http://www.bioconductor.org/.
