Network Diffusion Promotes the Integrative Analysis of Multiple Omics

The development of integrative methods is one of the main challenges in bioinformatics. Network-based methods for the analysis of multiple gene-centered datasets take into account known and/or inferred relations between genes. In the last decades, the mathematical machinery of network diffusion – also referred to as network propagation – has been exploited in several network-based pipelines, thanks to its ability of amplifying association...
