Alignment of biological networks by integer linear programming: virus-host protein-protein interaction networks

Background: The alignment of protein-protein interaction networks was recently formulated as an integer quadratic programming problem, along with a linearization that can be solved by integer linear programming software tools. However, the resulting integer linear program has a huge number of variab...

Resumo:Background: The alignment of protein-protein interaction networks was recently formulated as an integer quadratic programming problem, along with a linearization that can be solved by integer linear programming software tools. However, the resulting integer linear program has a huge number of variables and constraints, rendering it of no practical use. Results: We present a compact integer linear programming reformulation of the protein-protein interaction network alignment problem, which can be solved using state-of-the-art mathematical modeling and integer linear programming software tools, along with empirical results showing that small biological networks, such as virus-host protein-protein interaction networks, can be aligned in a reasonable amount of time on a personal computer and the resulting alignments are structurally coherent and biologically meaningful. Conclusions: The implementation of the integer linear programming reformulation using current mathematical modeling and integer linear programming software tools provided biologically meaningful alignments of virus-host protein-protein interaction networks.
