Gene2DisCo: Gene to disease using disease commonalities

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel method for disease-gene prioritization is proposed.

• The method leverages shared profiles among different diseases.

• Data source integration and imbalance-aware learning are cast into the framework.

• Novel candidate genes are inferred for selected diseases from the medical subject headings taxonomy.

• The method favorably compared on benchmark data.
