DSD is a program that calculates diffusion state distances between nodes in a graph. It makes use of global topologies via random walks and captures proximity between nodes in terms of node properties such as protein functions among protein-protein interaction graph.
cDSD extends this by including information about interaction confidence
caDSD is build on top of cDSD, and augments it with high-confidence signaling pathway data
capDSD extends caDSD by making use of the topological properties of these signaling pathways
