From: The translational network for metabolic disease – from protein interaction to disease co-occurrence
Disease network comparison: A small subset of diseases belonging to the metabolic diseases category in MeSH is selected. The nodes in the graph represent the eight selected diseases, and the width of an edge indicates connection strength proportional to the number of shared proteins between two diseases. In Goh et al.’s approach, there is only a single edge connecting two disease nodes, while the remaining six are disconnected. In contrast, in PPI(0~q), all eight disease nodes are connected, and each has a high degree of node connectivity with various connection strengths
