Prediction of protein–protein interactions based on elastic net and deep forest

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel method (GcForest-PPI) to predict protein–protein interactions.

• The PseAAC, AD, MMI, CTD, AAC-PSSM and DPC-PSSM are fused to extract feature information.

• The elastic net is employed to eliminate redundant and irrelevant features.

• We firstly use deep forest as classifier to predict PPIs via layer-by-layer processing of raw features.

• GcForest-PPI model has good generalization ability on cross-species datasets and PPIs network.
