Introduction
Given a list of genes known to be associated with a given genetic disease,
DiGI predicts and ranks a list of unknown genes based on their probabilities
to be related to that disease.

Output Description
DiGI returns a list of genes (not covered by the input) that are
ranked in descending order by their predicion to be connected to
the genes from input list. That is to be all associated with some
disease.
By clicking on the gene of interest in the ranking, we are shown
i) the sorted neighborhoods regarding the gene in each data source and
ii) the information of the gene described in HGNC website.
In case, some input genes could not be processed by our tool,
they will be listed at the end of the output page.
