concepts used

modules

quotients

iterated quotients

iterated method directly produces results

method used for a specific pathway; a different notion of module may be needed for a different network (authors mentioned Y2H experiments)

concepts used

chordal theory

cographs

degree of overlap between complexes can be described because of tree structure

clique tree representation of chordal graph

algorithm could fail if chordal graph not generated; could address this

extension

concepts used

split cluster graphs

monopolar graphs

solve optimization models using integer linear programming + simulated annealing

optimized solution

consider different core-periphery models

high-order common neighbor

structual similarity

distinguishes between overlapping protein and peripheral proteins

reconstruct more reliable networks with less noise
