Results for the Von Mering et al. PIN dataset (2002).


List of 'mediators', including degrees and degree ranges, for the Gavin et al. PIN dataset (2006), interpreted via the matrix model: The MULIC algorithm produced 274 clusters on the Gavin et al. PIN dataset. The cluster sizes ranged from 2-50 proteins. We identified 985 mediator proteins. Mediators are widely dispersed across all degree ranges. The number of proteins that have degree 1 in this dataset (interpreted via the matrix model) is 171 out of 2551 proteins in total (6.7%).
