Description of Biological Networks Volume 3
Biological Networks volume 3 written by François Képès is a great book for Biological Networks available in ebook (PDF) free download. Over the last few years, biologists have accumulated at an unprecedented pace huge datasets on systems at many different levels, ranging from molecules to populations. As these datasets typically consisted of a list of their interactions and biological objects, they could naturally be captured by network representations. It allowed any single domain of application to benefit from scientific breakthroughs originating in several disciplines, from graph theory to social networks or technological.
This Biological Networks book testifies to the recent efficiency of this transversal approach while anticipating that the advent of more sophisticated types of abundant data may inspire combinations of an application-driven fashion by network methods with other approaches.
The relevant components in a system are identified as nodes and it calls network models. These components are represented as links between nodes by interactions. Following this abstraction step, it becomes possible to study the topological properties of the network.
The uniformity & generality of the network representation makes it possible to compare systems of very different types. At present, pure & combined network-based approaches still present fascinating challenges with respect to topological properties, & to temporal and spatial development.
