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

Interactome networks and human disease
TL;DR: Why interactome networks are important to consider in biology, how they can be mapped and integrated with each other, what global properties are starting to emerge from interactome network models, and how these properties may relate to human disease are detailed.

TL;DR: An extensive transcriptional network constructed from the human adipose data that exhibits significant overlap with similar network modules constructed from mouse adiposeData was identified that is enriched for genes involved in the inflammatory and immune response and has been found to be causally associated to obesity-related traits.

Multi-omics approaches to disease.
TL;DR: This review provides an overview of omics technologies and methods for their integration across multiple omics layers and offers the opportunity to understand the flow of information that underlies disease.

Predicting missing links via local information
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors empirically investigate a simple framework of link prediction on the basis of node similarity and propose a new similarity measure, motivated by the resource allocation process taking place on networks, which can remarkably enhance the prediction accuracy.

Comparing community structure identification
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare several approaches to community structure identification in terms of sensitivity and computational cost, and find that the most accurate methods tend to be more computationally expensive, and that both aspects need to be considered when choosing a method for practical purposes.

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.
