X Abstract

Motivation: Modern comparative genomics does not restrict to sequence but involves the comparison of metabolic pathways or protein-protein interactions as well. Central in this approach is the concept of neighbourhood between entities (genes, proteins, chemical compounds). Therefore there is a growing need for new methods aiming at merging the connectivity information from different biological sources in order to infer functional coupling. Results: We present a generic approach to merge the information from two or more graphs representing biological data. The method is based on two concepts. The first one, the correspondence multigraph, precisely defines how correspondence is performed between the primary data-graphs. The second one, the common connected components, defines which property of the multigraph is searched for. Although this problem has already been informally stated in the past few years, we give here a formal and general statement together with an exact algorithm to solve it. Availability: The algorithm presented in this paper has been implemented in C.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
