Disease gene identification by random walk on multigraphs merging heterogeneous genomic and phenotype data.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) are a largely unexplored class of nuclear exosome degraded, non-coding RNAs in budding yeast. It is highly debated whether CUT transcription has a functional role in the cell or whether CUTs represent noise in the yeast transcriptome. We sought to ascertain the extent of c...
