SummaryFunctional annotation is an integral part in the analysis of organisms, as well as of multi-species communities. A common way to integrate such information is using biological networks. However, current data integration network tools are heavily dependent on a single source of information, which might strongly limit the amount of relevant data contained within the network. Here we present UniFuncNet, a network annotation framework that dynamically integrates data from multiple biological databases, thereby enabling data collection from various sources based on user preference. This results in a flexible and comprehensive data retrieval framework for network based analyses of omics data. Importantly, UniFuncNets data integration methodology allows for the output of a non-redundant composite network and associated metadata. In addition, a workflow exporting UniFuncNets output to the graph database management system Neo4j was implemented, which allows for efficient querying and analysis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
