GeneMANIA cytoscape plugin: Fast gene function predictions on the desktop

Abstract

Summary: The GeneMANIA Cytoscape plugin brings fast gene function prediction capabilities to the desktop. GeneMANIA identifies the most related genes to a query gene set using a guilt-by-association approach. The plugin uses over 800 networks from six organisms and each related gene is traceable to the source network used to make the prediction. Users may add their own interaction networks and expression profile data to complement or override the default data. © The Author(s) 2010. Published by Oxford University Press.
