This work proposes a unified framework to leverage biological information in network propagation-based gene prioritization algorithms. Preliminary results on breast cancer data show significant improvements over state-of-the-art baselines, such as the prioritization of genes that are not identified as potential candidates by interactome-based algorithms, but that appear to be involved in/or potentially related to breast cancer, according to a functional analysis based on recent literature.
