Functional Networks
===========================
In order to leverage the vast collections of raw, noisy genomic data, they must be integrated, summarized, and presented in a biologically informative manner. We provide a means of mining tens of thousands of whole-genome experiments by way of functional interaction networks. Each interaction network represents a body of data, probabilistically weighted and integrated, focused on a particular biological question. These questions can include, for example, the function of a gene, the relationship between two pathways, or the processes disrupted in a genetic disorder. Each functional map, based on an underlying predicted interaction network, summarizes an entire collection of genomic experimental results in a biologically meaningful way. (Huttenhower, et. al 2008)
