Gentrepid

Welcome to Gentrepid 2.0, a new approach to candidate disease gene prediction.

Gentrepid utilizes methodology from the fields of structural bioinformatics and systems biology. Two algorithms are applied: Common Module Profiling (CMP) and Common Pathway Scanning (CPS). CMP is completely novel and is based on the hypothesis that disruption of genes of similar function will lead to the same phenotype. CPS assumes that common phenotypes are associated with dysfunction in proteins that participate in the same complex or pathway.
