MGOGP: a gene module-based heuristic algorithm for cancer-related gene prioritization.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Accurately prioritizing candidate disease genes is an important and challenging problem. Various network-based methods have been developed to predict potential disease genes by utilizing the disease similarity network and molecular networks such as protein interaction or gene co-expression networks. Although...
