I would like to ask the forum, 1) what in-silico analysis can be done to identify a biomarker out of them 2) Can a prediction model be developed based on them ? So for example to check whether a new protein is associated with the disease, just use these 3000 and predict likelihood of association with the disease for the new protein.
