We have developed a deep learning algorithm called BIONIC (Biological Network Integration using Convolutions), which uses graph convolutional networks to combine many diverse biological datasets (such as protein-protein interactions and genetic interaction, protein sequence, and imaging data) to generate high quality and high coverage functional descriptions of genes. We plan to apply BIONIC to large-scale human datatypes to generate an improved set of gene function annotations and detect new biological modules in the human cell.
