# Analyzing data from the Human symptoms–disease network 

This repository inspects the bipartite symptom–disease network from the publication:

> [**Human symptoms–disease network**](https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms5212)


XueZhong Zhou, Jörg Menche, Albert-László Barabási & Amitabh Sharma


_Nature Communications_ (2014) DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5212

The repository is minimal, consisting of a single R Markdown document that is viewable at http://git.dhimmel.com/hsdn/.

## Repository contents

[`index.Rmd`](index.Rmd) is the [R Markdown](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/) source code, which is executed and exported to [`index.html`](index.html). Hosted via GitHub Pages, `index.html` is available as a webpage at http://git.dhimmel.com/hsdn/.

[`figure/figS4.png`](figure/figS4.png "Supplementary Figure 4. Illustration of the automated protocol to obtain disease

and symptom related bibliographic data") is a supplementary figure from [Zhou et al. 2014](https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms5212) describing their pipeline for extracting symptom and disease topics from MEDLINE.

## Notes

The supplementary data from Zhou et al. is not directly consumed in this repository. Instead, the data is retrieved from [`LABrueggs/HSDN`](https://github.com/LABrueggs/HSDN), which mapped symptom and disease names to their corresponding MeSH identifiers.

Since we were interested in using the Zhou et al. data for [Project Rephetio](https://thinklab.com/p/rephetio), we mapped MeSH diseases to the Disease Ontologies [diseases](https://thinklab.com/discussion/unifying-disease-vocabularies/44#6) used in Hetionet v1.0.

Ultimately we did not use the Zhou et al. data in Hetionet, but instead [re-extracted symptom–disease relationships](https://thinklab.com/discussion/mining-knowledge-from-medline-articles-and-their-indexed-mesh-terms/67#4) from MEDLINE topic cooccurrence. The primary motivations for redoing the extraction were:

1. The TF-IDF scores of Zhou et al. are only comparable within a disease and not across diseases.

2. Zhou et al. didn't provide a computational pipeline to recompute relationships in the future or for other relationship types.

See [`dhimmel/MEDLINE`](https://github.com/dhimmel/MEDLINE) for our MEDLINE topic extraction and cooccurrence analysis. The symptom–disease relationships are available in [`disease-symptom-cooccurrence.tsv`](https://github.com/dhimmel/medline/blob/0c9e2905ccf8aae00af5217255826fe46cba3d30/data/disease-symptom-cooccurrence.tsv).
