One great example of integration of network-based modeling and preclinical research is a study which set out to explore protein datasets (accessed at the Human Protein Atlas) of 353 BRAFV600E and BRAF wildtype, and 372 thyroid carcinoma which were then used to identify patient-specific, co-expressed groups of onco-proteins in each tumor. Here, BRAF is linked to thyroid gland carcinoma.
