Overview Introduction Biological network data Text mining Gene Ontology Expression data basics Expression, text mining, and GO Modules and complexes Domains and conclusion
In this section Network topology primer Finding complexes using topology data Finding complexes using coexpression Finding “active modules”
Modules A self-contained component of a system With well-defined interfaces to other components
Network modules
Why study modularity in networks? To reduce complexity
