Identifying unobserved links in biomedical bipartite networks helps to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of human complex diseases and thus benefits the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Although a great number of computational methods have been proposed to predict links in biomedical bipartite networks, most of them heavily depend on features and structures involving the bioentities in one specific bipartite network, which limits the generalization capacity of applying the models to other bipartite networks. Meanwhile, bioentities usually have multiple features, and how to leverage them has also been challenging.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, we propose a novel multi-view graph convolution network (MVGCN) framework for link prediction in biomedical bipartite networks. We first construct a multi-view heterogeneous network (MVHN) by combining the similarity networks with the biomedical bipartite network, and then perform a self-supervised learning strategy on the bipartite network to obtain node attributes as initial embeddings. Further, a neighborhood information aggregation (NIA) layer is designed for iteratively updating the embeddings of nodes by aggregating information from inter- and intra-domain neighbors in every view of the MVHN. Next, we combine embeddings of multiple NIA layers in each view, and integrate multiple views to obtain the final node embeddings, which are then fed into a discriminator to predict the existence of links. Extensive experiments show MVGCN performs better than or on par with baseline methods and has the generalization capacity on six benchmark datasets involving three typical tasks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title><jats:p>Source code and data can be downloaded from https:\/\/github.com\/fuhaitao95\/MVGCN.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title><jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btab651","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]],"date-time":"2021-09-08T11:46:10Z","timestamp":1631101570000},"page":"426-434","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":109,"title":["MVGCN: data integration through multi-view graph convolutional network for predicting links in biomedical bipartite networks"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9673-6845","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haitao","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Informatics, Huazhong Agricultural University , Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5502-8105","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Feng","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Informatics, Huazhong Agricultural University , Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Informatics, Huazhong Agricultural University , Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Informatics, Huazhong Agricultural University , Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Informatics, Huazhong Agricultural University , Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020108442849300_btab651-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"677","DOI":"10.1177\/070674371005501007","article-title":"Where to position clozapine: re-examining the evidence","volume":"55","author":"Agid","year":"2010","journal-title":"Can.
