| Abstract | In biological network analysis, the goal of the target identification problem is to predict molecule to inhibit (or activate) to achieve optimum efficacy and safety for a disease treatment. A related problem is the target prioritization problem which predicts a subset of molecules in a given disease-related network which contains successful drug targets with highest probability. Sensitivity analysis prioritizes targets in a dynamic network model using principled criteria, but fails to penalize off-target effects, and does not scale for large networks. We describe Pani (Putative TArget Nodes PrIoritization), a novel method that prunes and ranks the possible target nodes by exploiting concentration-time profiles and network structure (topological) information. Pani and two sensitivity analysis methods were applied to three signaling networks, mapk-pi3k; myosin light chain (mlc) phosphorylation and sea urchin endomesoderm gene regulatory network which are implicated for example in ovarian cancer; atrial fibrillation and deformed embryos. Predicted targets were compared against the molecules known to be targeted by drugs in clinical use for the respective diseases. Pani is orders of magnitude faster and prioritizes the majority of known targets higher than both sensitivity methods. This highlights a potential disagreement between absolute mathematical sensitivity and our intuition of influence. We conclude that empirical, structural methods like Pani, which demand almost no run time, offer benefits not available from quantitative simulation and sensitivity analysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
