JG created the mathematics from which the machine intelligence techniques utilized were derived, curated the data, led the vision, and carried out a good portion of the research along with MT, who contributed essential bioinformatics. BQ wrote the majority of the manuscript and carried out critical protein interaction work that allowed us to interpret the results provided by the machine intelligence. RA and AA were both primary readers of the manuscript, provided direction, criticism, and helped shape the overall flow of the research during the course of this work. All authors contributed to manuscript revision, read, and approved the submitted version.
