A density-based approach for detecting complexes in weighted PPI networks by semantic similarity.

Protein complex detection in PPI networks plays an important role in analyzing biological processes. A new algorithm-DBGPWN-is proposed for predicting complexes in PPI networks. Firstly, a method based on gene ontology is used to measure semantic similarities between interacted proteins, and the similarity values are used as their weights.
