Abstract
Identifying functional modules from protein-protein interaction networks is an important and challenging task. This paper presents a new approach called PPIBM which is designed to integrate gene expression data analysis and clustering of protein-protein interactions. The proposed approach relies on a Bayesian model which uses as its base protein-protein interactions given as part of input. The proposed method is evaluated with standard measures and its performance is compared with the state-of-the-art network analysis methods. Experimental results on both real-world data and synthetic data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
