Accurate and efficient gene function prediction using a multi-bacterial network

Abstract

Nearly 40% of the genes in sequenced genomes have no experimentally or computationally derived functional annotations. To fill this gap, we seek to develop methods for network-based gene function prediction that can integrate heterogeneous data for multiple species with experimentally based functional annotations and systematically transfer them to newly sequenced organisms on a genome-wide scale. However, the large sizes of such networks pose a challenge for the scalability of current methods.
