We developed Tapioca, an integrative ensemble machine learning-based framework, to accurately predict global protein–protein interaction network dynamics. Tapioca enabled the characterization of host regulation during reactivation from latency of an oncogenic virus. Introducing an interactome homology analysis method, we identified a proviral host factor with broad relevance for herpesviruses.
