GenePioneer: A Comprehensive Python Package for Identification of Essential Genes and Modules in Cancer
Taheri, G.; Haerianardakani, A.
Show abstract
SummaryWe propose a network-based unsupervised learning model to identify essential cancer genes and modules for 12 different cancer types, supported by a Python package for practical application. The model constructs a gene network from frequently mutated genes and biological processes, ranks genes using topological features, and detects critical modules. Evaluation across cancer types confirms its effectiveness in prioritizing cancer-related genes and uncovering relevant modules. The Python package allows users to input gene lists, retrieve rankings, and identify associated modules. This work providing a robust method for gene prioritization and module detection, along with a user-friendly package to support research and clinical decision-making in cancer genomics. AvailabilityGenePioneer is released as an open-source software under the MIT license.

"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.
