Algorithmic and analytical methods in network biology

Algorithmic and analytical methods in network biology.

During the genomic revolution, algorithmic and analytical methods for organizing, integrating, analyzing, and querying biological sequence data proved invaluable. Today, increasing availability of high-throughput data pertaining to functional states of biomolecules, as well as their interactions, enables genome-scale studies of the cell from a systems perspective. The past decade witnessed sign...

Methods of information theory and algorithmic complexity for network biology.

We survey and introduce concepts and tools located at the intersection of information theory and network biology. We show that Shannon's information entropy, compressibility and algorithmic complexity quantify different local and global aspects of synthetic and biological data. We show examples such as the emergence of giant components in Erdös-Rényi random graphs, and the recovery of topologic...

Analytical Methods for Network Congestion Control

The congestion control mechanism has been responsible for maintaining stability as the Internet scaled up in size, speed, traffic volume, coverage, and complexity by many orders of magnitude over the last three decades. In this book we develop a coherent theory of congestion control from the ground up to help understand and design these algorithms. We model network traffic as fluids that flow f...
