Searching for repetitions in biological networks: methods, resources and tools
2013
We present here a compact overview of the data, models and methods proposed for the analysis of biological networks based on the search for significant repetitions. In particular, we concentrate on three problems widely studied in the literature: ‘network alignment’, ‘network querying’ and ‘network motif extraction’. We provide (i) details of the experimental techniques used to obtain the main types of interaction data, (ii) descriptions of the models and approaches introduced to solve such problems and (iii) pointers to both the available databases and software tools. The intent is to lay out a useful roadmap for identifying suitable strategies to analyse cellular data, possibly based on t…
Algorithms for Graph and Network Analysis: Graph Alignment
2019
In this article we discuss the problem of graph alignment, which has been longly referred to for the purpose of analyzing and comparing biological networks. In particular, we describe different facets of graph alignment, according to the number of input networks, the fixed output objective, the possible heterogeneity of input data. Accordingly, we will discuss pairwise and multiple alignment, global and local alignment, etc. Moreover, we provide a comprehensive overview of the algorithms and techniques proposed in the literature to solve each of the specific considered types of graph alignment. In order to make the material presented here complete and useful to guide the reader in the use o…
