Title
Computational methods for identifying the critical nodes in biological networks.
Abstract
A biological network is complex. A group of critical nodes determines the quality and state of such a network. Increasing studies have shown that diseases and biological networks are closely and mutually related and that certain diseases are often caused by errors occurring in certain nodes in biological networks. Thus, studying biological networks and identifying critical nodes can help determine the key targets in treating diseases. The problem is how to find the critical nodes in a network efficiently and with low cost. Existing experimental methods in identifying critical nodes generally require much time, manpower and money. Accordingly, many scientists are attempting to solve this problem by researching efficient and low-cost computing methods. To facilitate calculations, biological networks are often modeled as several common networks. In this review, we classify biological networks according to the network types used by several kinds of common computational methods and introduce the computational methods used by each type of network.
