Hello!

I'm searching a tool to perform a disease gene prioritization. I have a list of seed genes, which are related to a particular disease, and a candidate genes list which I want to prioritize to obtain a gene ranking. In addition, I have protein-protein interaction data.

The problem is that I can't find a tool which allows to load your own protein-protein interaction network. The only I found it's DaDa (http://compbio.case.edu/omics/software/dada/) but I don't have a license for MATLAB.

Some of the gene prioritization algorithms can easily be implemented. See for example my tutorial here and application in this paper. The focus is on gene function but the principles can be applied to diseases. You can find a list of gene prioritization tools on omictools.com.
