psychologist submitted, created time 1 year 8 months (www.nature.com)

A systematic, large-scale analysis of human protein complexes are performed comprising gene products implicated in many different categories of human disease to create a phenome-interactome network. It was done by integrating quality-controlled interactions of human proteins with a validated, computationally derived phenotype similarity score, permitting identification of previously unknown complexes likely to be associated with disease
