Analysis of Biological Networks / Wiley Series in Bioinformatics (PDF)

An introduction to biological networks and methods for their
analysis

Analysis of Biological Networks is the first book of its
kind to provide readers with a comprehensive introduction to the
structural analysis of biological networks at the interface of
biology and computer science. The book begins with a brief overview
of biological networks and graph theory/graph algorithms and goes
on to explore: global network properties, network centralities,
network motifs, network clustering, Petri nets, signal transduction
and gene regulation networks, protein interaction networks,
metabolic networks, phylogenetic networks, ecological networks, and
correlation networks.

Analysis of Biological Networks is a self-contained
introduction to this important research topic, assumes no expert
knowledge in computer science or biology, and is accessible to
professionals and students alike. Each chapter concludes with a
summary of main points and with exercises for readers to test their
understanding of the material presented. Additionally, an FTP site
with links to author-provided data for the book is available for
deeper study.

This book is suitable as a resource for researchers in computer
science, biology, bioinformatics, advanced biochemistry, and the
life sciences, and also serves as an ideal reference text for
graduate-level courses in bioinformatics and biological
research.
