NFPscanner: a webtool for knowledge-based deciphering of biomedical networks.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many biological pathways have been created to represent different types of knowledge, such as genetic interactions, metabolic reactions, and gene-regulating and physical-binding relationships. Biologists are using a wide range of omics data to elaborately construct various context-specific differential molecular networks. However, they cannot easily gain insight into unfamiliar gene networks with the tools that are currently available for pathways resource and network analysis. They would benefit from the development of a standardized tool to compare functions of multiple biological networks quantitatively and promptly.

Results

To address this challenge, we developed NFPscanner, a web server for deciphering gene networks with pathway associations. Adapted from a r
