PRINCIPLE: a tool for associating genes with diseases via network propagation

SUMMARY PRINCIPLE is a Java application implemented as a Cytoscape plug-in, based on a previously published algorithm, PRINCE. Given a query disease, it prioritizes disease-related genes based on their closeness in a protein-protein interaction network to genes causing phenotypically similar disorders to the query disease. AVAILABILITY Implemented in Java, PRINCIPLE runs over Cytoscape 2.7 or newer versions. Binaries, default input files and documentation are freely available at http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~bnet/software/PrincePlugin/. CONTACT roded@tau.ac.il; assafgot@tau.ac.il.
