Integration of Disease Similarity Methods

Bioconductor version: Release (3.6)

dSimer is an R package which provides computation of nine methods for measuring disease-disease similarity, including a standard cosine similarity measure and eight function-based methods. The disease similarity matrix obtained from these nine methods can be visualized through heatmap and network. Biological data widely used in disease-disease associations study are also provided by dSimer.
