Enhancing protein-protein interaction prediction using multiple kernels
A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network indicates which pairs of proteins interact. Since proteins hardly perform alone, it is of essential to know which pairs of proteins interact with each other to perform the various bodily functions. However, experimental methods for PPI are tedious, laborio...
