Background  Associations between proteins are essential to understand cell biology. While this complex interplay between proteins has been studied in model organisms, it has not yet been described for the oomycete late blight pathogen  Phytophthora infestans .    Results  We present an integrative probabilistic functional gene network that provides associations for 37 percent of the predicted  P. infestans  proteome. Our method unifies available genomic, transcriptomic and comparative genomic data into a single comprehensive network using a Bayesian approach. Enrichment of proteins residing in the same or related subcellular localization validates the biological coherence of our predictions. The network serves as a framework to query existing genomic data using network-based methods, which thus far was not possible in  Phytophthora . We used the network to study the set of interacting proteins that are encoded by genes co-expressed during sporulation. This identified potential novel roles for proteins in spore formation through their links to proteins known to be involved in this process such as the phosphatase Cdc14.    Conclusions  The functional association network represents a novel genome-wide data source for  P. infestans  that also acts as a framework to interrogate other system-wide data. In both capacities it will improve our understanding of the complex biology of  P. infestans  and related oomycete pathogens .
