In PrInCE: Predicting Interactomes from Co-Elution

#' Reference set of human protein complexes
#' 
#' A reference set of 467 experimentally confirmed human protein complexes,
#' derived from the EBI Complex Portal database. 
#' 
#' 467 protein complexes, ranging in size from 2 to 44 proteins and involving
#' 877 proteins in total, to provide a reference set of true positive and true 
#' negative interactions (intra- and inter-complex interactions, respectively)
#' for demonstration in PrInCE analysis of a co-elution dataset.
#' Other "gold standards" are possible in practice, most notably the CORUM
#' database; however, the Complex Portal reference set is included in this
#' package due to its CC-BY license.
