ProteinComplexes: Delineation of protein complexes in yeast

The delineation of protein complexes from protein-protein interaction data is not as trivial as it may seem. We developed a simple probabilistic framework to cluster purifications while preserving the partial order relation among purifications. With a simple graph-based approach motivated by the asymmetric relationship between purifications, we can visualize overlapping components of protein complexes as supported by the experiment.
