Context-dependent prediction of protein complexes by SiComPre

Most cellular processes are regulated by groups of proteins interacting together to form protein complexes. Protein compositions vary between different tissues or disease conditions enabling or preventing certain protein？protein interactions and resulting in variations in the complexome. Quantitative and qualitative characterization of context-specific protein complexes will help to better understand context-dependent variations in the physiological behavior of cells. Here, we present SiComPre 1.0, a computational tool that predicts context-specific protein complexes by integrating multi-omics sources. SiComPre outperforms other protein complex prediction tools in qualitative predictions and is unique in giving quantitative predictions on the complexome depending on the specific interactions and protein abundances defined by the user. We provide tutorials and examples on the complexome prediction of common model organisms, various human tissues and how the complexome is affected by drug treatment
