PrInCE: an R/Bioconductor package for protein–protein interaction network inference from co-fractionation mass spectrometry data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY: We present PrInCE, an R/Bioconductor package that employs a machine-learning approach to infer protein-protein interaction networks from co-fractionation mass spectrometry (CF-MS) data. Previously distributed as a collection of Matlab scripts, our ground-up rewrite of this software package in an open-source language dramatically improves runtime and memory requirements. We describe several new features in the R implementation, including a test for the detection of co-eluting protein complexes and a method for differential network analysis. PrInCE is extensively documented and fully compatible with Bioconductor classes, ensuring it can fit seamlessly into existing proteomics workflows. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: PrInCE is available from Bioconductor (https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/PrInCE.html). Source code is freely available from GitHub under the MIT license (https://github.com/fosterlab/PrInCE). Support is provided via the GitHub issues tracker (https://github.com/fosterlab/PrInCE/issues). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
