SON is a novel essential protein prediction method which integrates the information of subcellular localization, orthologous proteins and protein-protein interaction networks.

Software download: SON

DataSet
The original protein-protein interaction data was downloaded from DIP (http://dip.doe-mbi.ucla.edu/). The final protein-protein interaction network used in this paper includes 5093 proteins and 24743 interactions by filtering self-interactions and repeated interactions, as shown in DIP.txt. A list of essential proteins of S. cerevisiae are collected from the following databases: MIPS, SGD, DEG, and SGDP. The essential proteins used in this paper is given as Essential.txt. Subcellular localization dataset (subcellular.txt) includes 5095 yeast proteins and 206831 subcellular localization records. Orthologous proteins dataset is taken from Version 7 of InParanoid consisting a set of pairwise comparisons between 100 whole genomes.
