PIQuant score input data

Data type	Description
Influence network (set of paths)	An influence network of interest composed of different species (proteins, complexes, RNA, small molecules), connected by edges representing activation or inhibition. A collection of paths will be extracted from the network, defined between annotated and target nodes of biological interest.
Experimental data	Experimental data related to processes described in the network. Species in the network can be annotated with experimental data values (consisting of a real number), such as an expression ratio or a t-test statistic value.
