Hierarchical Organization of Modularity in Metabolic Networks
TLDR
It is shown that the metabolic networks of 43 distinct organisms are organized into many small, highly connected topologic modules that combine in a hierarchical manner into larger, less cohesive units, with their number and degree of clustering following a power law.Abstract:
Spatially or chemically isolated functional modules composed of several cellular components and carrying discrete functions are considered fundamental building blocks of cellular organization, but their presence in highly integrated biochemical networks lacks quantitative support Here, we show that the metabolic networks of 43 distinct organisms are organized into many small, highly connected topologic modules that combine in a hierarchical manner into larger, less cohesive units, with their number and degree of clustering following a power law Within Escherichia coli, the uncovered hierarchical modularity closely overlaps with known metabolic functions The identified network architecture may be generic to system-level cellular organizationread more

Finding community structure in spatially constrained complex networks

TL;DR: This article proposes a geo-distance-based method of detecting communities in spatially constrained networks to identify communities that are both highly topologically connected and spatially clustered, based on the fast modularity maximisation (CNM) algorithm.

Emergence of symmetry in complex networks.
TL;DR: An improved version of the Barabaśi-Albert model integrating similar linkage pattern successfully reproduces the symmetry of real networks, indicating that similar linkagepattern is the underlying ingredient that is responsible for the emergence of symmetry in complex networks.

A cross-species transcriptomics approach to identify genes involved in leaf development
TL;DR: A set of candidate genes involved in the control and processes of leaf development, revealing that the C2C2-YABBY, CCAAT-HAP3 and 5, MYB, and ZF-HD families are particularly important in leaves is provided.

Modeling and analysis of RNA-seq data: a review from a statistical perspective
Wei Vivian Li,Jingyi Jessica Li +1 more
TL;DR: The analysis of RNA-seq data at four different levels (samples, genes, transcripts, and exons) involves multiple statistical and computational questions, some of which remain challenging up to date as mentioned in this paper.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.

Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks
TL;DR: A model based on these two ingredients reproduces the observed stationary scale-free distributions, which indicates that the development of large networks is governed by robust self-organizing phenomena that go beyond the particulars of the individual systems.

Statistical mechanics of complex networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns
TL;DR: A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression, finding in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that clustering gene expression data groups together efficiently genes of known similar function.

Community structure in social and biological networks
Michelle Girvan,Mark Newman +1 more
TL;DR: This article proposes a method for detecting communities, built around the idea of using centrality indices to find community boundaries, and tests it on computer-generated and real-world graphs whose community structure is already known and finds that the method detects this known structure with high sensitivity and reliability.
