AMINE (A network embedding approach to identify active modules in biological interaction networks)

The identification of condition-specific gene sets from transcriptomic experiments is important to reveal regulatory and signaling mechanisms associated with a given cellular response. Statistical methods of differential expression analysis, designed to assess individual gene variations, have trouble highlighting modules of small varying genes whose interaction is essential to characterize phenotypic changes. AMINE is a new and efficient method for identifying these active modules that operates on a data embedding combining gene expressions and interaction data.
