Abstract: Protein complexes play significant roles in biological processes.The detection of protein complexes from available protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is one of the most challenging tasks in the post-genome era.Seed expansion method is an effective clustering technique for overlapping protein complexes detection from PPI networks.However,existing methods are usually faced with two problems.One is that they only consider link density between direct neighbors of nodes in a network in the step of seed selection,which is not enough to indicate the importance of nodes in local subgraphs consisting of their neighborhoods.The other is that candidate nodes are assumed to be independent from each other,ignoring the impact of candidate nodes’ order on clustering in the process of cluster extension.To solve the problems,this paper proposed an overlapping protein complexes detection algorithm based on assortativity,which considers 2-order neighborhood of nodes in the process of seed selection,and multiple candidate nodes are added into clusters based on assortativity in networks in the process of cluster expansion.In order to evaluate overlapping results,a new evaluation index named F-overlap was presented.Experiment results on PPI networks show that the proposed algorithm can effectively identify overlapping protein complexes.

Key words: Assortativity, Complexes detection, Protein-protein interaction network, Seed expansion method
