Abstract
We present an integrated platform that is used for the reconstruction
and analysis of protein-protein interaction networks inferred from Mass
Spectrometry (MS) bait-prey experiment data. At the heart of this pipeline
is the Software Environment for Biological Network Inference (SEBINI),
an interactive environment for the deployment and testing of network
inference algorithms that use high-throughput data. Among the many
algorithms available in SEBINI is the Bayesian Estimator of Probabilities
of Protein-Protein Associations (BEPro3) algorithm, which is used to infer
interaction networks from such MS affinity isolation data. For integration,
comparison and analysis of the inferred protein-protein interactions with
interaction evidence obtained from multiple public sources, the pipeline
connects to the Collective Analysis of Biological Interaction Networks (CABIN) software. Incorporating BEPro3 into SEBINI and automatically
feeding the resulting inferred network into CABIN, we have created a
structured workflow for protein-protein network inference and supplemental
analysis from sets of MS bait-prey experiments.
