But using a seed can make new seeds.
Using 12 previously identified helitrons as a seed set, we identified 23 helitrons in maize, five of which were polymorphic among a sample of inbred lines.
We used abstracts of 330,000 papers published during the first quarter of 2010 as a seed set.
Based on WHPN, a cancer-association subnetwork (CASN) was obtained using a set of seed genes derived from PubMeth.
One of the simple techniques in the dictionary-based approach is based on bootstrapping using a small set of seed opinion words and an online dictionary, e.g., WordNet.
The first 11 genes identified by Spice were used as seed set, and a total of 145 phenotype-associated gene functional modules (see Additional file 7) were generated by DENSE algorithm in the Leukemia network.
Seed set was calculated using the formula: seed set = (the number of plump seeds/the total number of pollinated stigmas) × 100% [ 13].
Hwang et al. [ 37] identified 40 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 17 different genomic regions significantly associated with seed protein content using a data set of 55,159 SNPs.
More specifically, given an item (I = (lambda _1, lambda _2, ldots, lambda _{d})), if we have pre-computed the seed set (S^{g}_i = S^{g} k, lambda p_i)) via the greedy algorithm for each topic i, then we would simply use the seed set (S^{g}_{i'}) that gives the best influence spread, i.e., (i' = mathop {arg max }nolimits _{i in left[ d right] } sigma (S^{g}_i, lambda _i p_i)).
To this end, we compare the association score α v, D) for each protein with scores computed using random seed sets (by preserving the degree distribution of the seed genes).
