a study of the evolutionary relationships between vertebrates based on protein protein interactions. super thorough write-up in the repo. please check it out! i'm incredibly proud of this project,
This project was my Senior Capstone project. I worked in Python with NetworkX and Jupyter.
The main file is the .ipynb file, if you don’t have jupyter installed to view the file you can still get a lot of information from the write-up.
This program was built to study evolutionary relationships among a handful of vertebrate species by performing missing link prediction on their proteins.
I created a bipartite network first, between proteins and the species which have that protein, then I created both possible projections of the bipartite network, and did missing link prediction on the protein-protein projection network.
I was able to make predictions about evolutionary relationships and further research those predictions to gain a level of qualitative accuracy on them.
Please read the write-up (the pdf)! It’s incredibly detailed (though it couldn’t possibly encompass everything I learned in this project) and goes over everything I did to achieve this.
