Prediction of lncRNA-protein interactions using HeteSim scores based on heterogeneous networks

Abstract Massive studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical for the regulation of cellular biological processes by binding with RNA-related proteins. However, only a few experimentally supported lncRNA-protein associations have been reported. Existing network-based metho...
