Efficient prediction of human protein-protein interactions at a global scale.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Similarity inference, one of the main bioinformatics tasks, has to face an exponential growth of the biological data. A classical approach used to cope with this data flow involves heuristics with large seed indexes. In order to speed up this technique, the index can be enhanced by storing additional informa...
