Abstract

MOTIVATION: Exploring the interrelationships between microbes and disease can help microbiologists make decisions and plan treatments. Predicting new microbe-disease associations currently relies on biological experiments and domain knowledge, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Automated algorithms are used to uncover the intrinsic link between microbes and disease. However, due to data noise and inadequate understanding of relevant biology, the efficient prediction of microbe-disease associations is still crucial. This study develops a multi-view graph augmentation convolutional network (MVGCNMDA) to predict potential disease-associated microbes.
