Merr.] that is rapidly becoming a global economic issue. Two loci conferring SCN resistance have been identified in soybean, Rhg1 and Rhg4; however, they offer declining protection. Therefore, it is imperative that we identify additional mechanisms for SCN resistance. In this paper, we develop a bioinformatics pipeline to identify protein\u2013protein interactions related to SCN resistance by data mining massive-scale datasets. The pipeline combines two leading sequence-based protein\u2013protein interaction predictors, the Protein\u2013protein Interaction Prediction Engine (PIPE), PIPE4, and Scoring PRotein INTeractions (SPRINT) to predict high-confidence interactomes. First, we predicted the top soy interacting protein partners of the Rhg1 and Rhg4 proteins. Both PIPE4 and SPRINT overlap in their predictions with 58 soybean interacting partners, 19 of which had GO terms related to defense. Beginning with the top predicted interactors of Rhg1 and Rhg4, we implement a \u201cguilt by association\u201d <jats:italic>in silico<\/jats:italic> proteome-wide approach to identify novel soybean genes that may be involved in SCN resistance. This pipeline identified 1,082 candidate genes whose local interactomes overlap significantly with the Rhg1 and Rhg4 interactomes. Using GO enrichment tools, we highlighted many important genes including five genes with GO terms related to response to the nematode (GO:0009624), namely, <jats:italic>Glyma.18G029000<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Glyma.11G228300<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Glyma.08G120500<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Glyma.17G152300<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Glyma.08G265700<\/jats:italic>. This study is the first of its kind to predict interacting partners of known resistance proteins Rhg1 and Rhg4, forming an analysis pipeline that enables researchers to focus their search on high-confidence targets to identify novel SCN resistance genes in soybean.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbinf.2023.1199675","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,20]],"date-time":"2023-06-20T10:29:04Z","timestamp":1687256944000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Large-scale data mining pipeline for identifying novel soybean genes involved in resistance against the soybean cyst nematode"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Nour","family":"Nissan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Hooker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Arezza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Dick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashkan","family":"Golshani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Mimee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elroy","family":"Cober","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Green","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bahram","family":"Samanfar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"E7375","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1610150113","article-title":"Disease resistance through impairment of \u03b1-SNAP\u2013NSF interaction and vesicular trafficking by soybean Rhg1","volume":"113","author":"Bayless","year":"2016","journal-title":"Proc.
