ABSTRACT
Bioinformatics and systems biology play a vital role in the computational prediction of disease-associated genes using multi-omics data. The network-based approach is one of the most potent tools in disease-associated gene prediction. The two commonly used methods are neighborhood-based and network diffusion techniques. However, there is still a lack of studies comparing the performance of these methods, especially in terms of functional pathway discovery. Thus, this study demonstrated the performance comparison of these two techniques in both numerical accuracies based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and biological meaning efficiency based on functional pathway enrichment. In this study, we analyzed data of severe COVID-19 immune-related genes using heterogeneous data. The prediction results of the COVID-19 immune-related genes in the human protein-protein interaction (PPI) network showed that the network diffusion had better performance in both AUROC and pathway enrichment even though it provided a longer computational time than the neighborhood method. © 2022 IEEE.
