Reconstructing Interlog Protein Network (IPN) integrated from several Protein protein Interaction Networks (PPINs). Using this package, overlaying different PPINs to mine conserved common networks between diverse species will be applicable.

COSMOS (Causal Oriented Search of Multi-Omic Space) is a method that integrates phosphoproteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics data sets based on prior knowledge of signaling, metabolic, and gene regulatory networks. It estimated the activities of transcrption factors and kinases and finds a network-level causal reasoning. Thereby, COSMOS provides mechanistic hypotheses for experimental observations across mulit-omics datasets.

Inference of ligand-receptor (LR) interactions from bulk expression (transcriptomics/proteomics) data, or spatial transcriptomics. BulkSignalR bases its inferences on the LRdb database included in our other package, SingleCellSignalR available from Bioconductor. It relies on a statistical model that is specific to bulk data sets. Different visualization and data summary functions are proposed to help navigating prediction results.

The iModMix network-based method offers an integrated framework for analyzing multi-omics data, including metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics data, enabling the exploration of intricate molecular associations within heterogeneous biological systems.

SCUDO (Signature-based Clustering for Diagnostic Purposes) is a rank-based method for the analysis of gene expression profiles for diagnostic and classification purposes. It is based on the identification of sample-specific gene signatures composed of the most up- and down-regulated genes for that sample. Starting from gene expression data, functions in this package identify sample-specific gene signatures and use them to build a graph of samples. In this graph samples are joined by edges if they have a similar expression profile, according to a pre-computed similarity matrix. The similarity between the expression profiles of two samples is computed using a method similar to GSEA. The graph of samples can then be used to perform community clustering or to perform supervised classification of samples in a testing set.

HPiP (Host-Pathogen Interaction Prediction) uses an ensemble learning algorithm for prediction of host-pathogen protein-protein interactions (HP-PPIs) using structural and physicochemical descriptors computed from amino acid-composition of host and pathogen proteins.The proposed package can effectively address data shortages and data unavailability for HP-PPI network reconstructions. Moreover, establishing computational frameworks in that regard will reveal mechanistic insights into infectious diseases and suggest potential HP-PPI targets, thus narrowing down the range of possible candidates for subsequent wet-lab experimental validations.
