Abstract

BACKGROUND: Despite the insights that metabolite analysis can provide into the onset, development, and progression of diseases-thus offering new concepts and methodologies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment-traditional wet lab experiments are often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Consequently, this study aimed to develop a machine learning model named COM-RAN, which is based on a knowledge graph and random forest algorithm, to identify potential associations between metabolites and diseases.
