Expanding P-NET, a multi-purpose biologically informed deep learning framework

We present expanded P-NET, a versatile frame-work for deep learning in computational biology based on P-NET, leveraging biological pathways for interpretable predictions. Our framework achieves competitive performance in genomic & transcriptomic prediction tasks. We demonstrate its stability and interpretability compared to traditional machine learning models. P-NET 2.0 incorporates gene and pathway information, providing valuable insights into complex biological processes. The framework is publicly available, enabling its application to various computational biology tasks.

Abstract

We present expanded P-NET, a versatile frame-work for deep learning in computational biology based on P-NET, leveraging biological pathways for interpretable predictions. Our framework achieves competitive performance in genomic & transcriptomic prediction tasks. We demonstrate its stability and interpretability compared to traditional machine learning models. P-NET 2.0 incorporates gene and pathway information, providing valuable insights into complex biological processes. The framework is publicly available, enabling its application to various computational biology tasks.
