Interpreting weights

[Guillermo Gervasini]

Hi Genemania team,

I am using Genemania integrated in Cytoscape and I have been looking for information on how to interpret weights, as that section in the FAQ reads "coming soon".

I introduced a query for 70 genes (resultant genes set to zero). In the node table I´ve noticed that the highest scores correspond to those genes that are less connected, i.e., those far apart from the center of the network. Then, there is also an edge table with raw and normalized weights.

I would appreciate if you guys can explain what these scores actually represent

Thanks in advance,
