Analysis of Biological Networks : Network Motifs ∗
This lecture describes methods for analyzing networks in terms of their motif content. Network motifs are defined as ”recurring patterns of interactions that are significantly over-represented”. The motivation for analyzing the motif content of the network lies in the basic assumption that the over-representation of a certain motif in a network indicates it has some functional importance. Thus,...
متن کاملMotifs in biological networks
Current progress in molecular biology, particularly in genome sequencing and highthroughput technologies, have led to an unprecedented growth in data. The availability of detailed molecular data allows the reconstruction of the structure and dynamic of biological processes and systems. This transition from the molecular level to the systems level is necessary for an understanding of the functio...
متن کاملTo Modularize or Not To Modularize?
There is a considerable degree of modularity in the human brain and numerous reasons why it might have evolved to be that way. One may be tempted to build such modularity into our artificial systems. Indeed, Rueckl, Cave & Kosslyn (1989) demonstrated how a clear advantage in having a modular architecture can exist in neural network models. Here I present a series of simulations of the evolution...
متن کاملDynamic Properties of Network Motifs Contribute to Biological Network Organization
Biological networks, such as those describing gene regulation, signal transduction, and neural synapses, are representations of large-scale dynamic systems. Discovery of organizing principles of biological networks can be enhanced by embracing the notion that there is a deep interplay between network structure and system dynamics. Recently, many structural characteristics of these non-random ne...
متن کاملDiscovering Network Motifs in Protein Interaction Networks
This chapter examines some of the available techniques for analyzing a protein interaction network (PIN) when depicted as an undirected graph. Within this graph, algorithms have been developed which identify “notable” smaller building blocks called network motifs. The authors examine these algorithms by dividing them into two broad categories based on two definitions of “notable”: (a) statistic...
