Opis

Introduces new graph theory techniques for the analysis and integration of multi-type large data sets) in the life sciences. Discussing cutting-edge problems and techniques, this book provides researchers from a wide range of fields with methods for exploiting big heterogeneous data in biology through the concept of 'network of networks'.

Recenzje

'… Networks of Networks in Biology should be of interest and a good introductory resource for molecular biologists, cell biologists, and biochemists, as well as bioinformaticians not yet acquainted with multilayer networks.' Ingo Brigandt, Quarterly Review of Biology
