incomplete-interactome

This folder contains files which are used to convert the disease names used in the interactome created by Menche et al. in their paper "Uncovering disease-disease relationships through the incomplete interactome" to their MeSH ID's.

SciencetoMESHterm.ipynb file is an ipython notebook file (view here). It takes the disease_input.txt file, and queries MeSH (2014) to obtain the relevant MeSH ID's that match the disease names. It returns the disease_output.tsv file (download here) which is a list of the diseases and their respective ID's.
