[Funcoup] Featured Article

[Andrey Alexeyenko]

Hi,

I suggest the most parsimonious (and least humble) edit:
"provides the largest ROBUST reconstruction of gene networks to date, 
owing to the extensive transfer of evidence between species via 
orthologs AND SUPERVISED LEARNING ON SPECIES OWN DATA"

This recognizes advantage compared to STRING. But if there is another 
database with more than ~50 million links in more that 10 eukaryotic 
species that uses orthologs and KEGG-based training sets, then it's 
wrong, and I'd agree with Erik's version.
