Examination of the relationship between essential genes in PPI network and hub proteins in reverse nearest neighbor topology
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In many protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, densely connected hub proteins are more likely to be essential proteins. This is referred to as the "centrality-lethality rule", which indicates that the topological place...
