Abstract:Network alignment has become a standard tool in comparative biology, allowing the inference of protein function, interaction and orthology. However, current alignment techniques are based on topological properties of networks and do not take into account their functional implications. Here we propose, for the first time, an algorithm to align two metabolic networks by taking advantage of their coupled metabolic models. These models allow us to assess the functional implications of genes or reactions, captured … Show more
