PPI Network Construction Statistics for Breast Cancer Genes from DISEASES Database

12.2 KB Excel file by Takanori Sasaki details statistics for protein-protein interaction networks built from breast cancer-related genes. The table lists query gene counts from the DISEASES database and resulting node counts from STRING, with network metrics calculated for three different minimum interaction scores. It was last updated on May 6, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare network density and size based on different minimum interaction score thresholds mentioned in the description
• Analyze the relationship between disease score ranking and network connectivity for breast cancer genes
• Benchmark PPI network construction methods using statistics from the DISEASES and STRING databases

Strengths

• File size is 12.2 KB, indicating a compact and focused dataset.
• Provides network statistics for three distinct minimum required interaction scores, allowing for comparison.
• Explicitly cites source databases (DISEASES and STRING) and calculation methods.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
