How is Network Segmentation Applied in Cancer Research?
There are several methods used to segment networks in cancer research:
Module Detection: Identifies clusters or modules within larger networks that share similar biological functions or are co-expressed. Pathway Analysis: Focuses on specific biochemical pathways to understand their role in cancer. Gene Co-expression Networks: Examines the correlation between the expression levels of different genes to identify functionally related groups. Protein-Protein Interaction Networks: Maps the interactions between proteins to uncover functional complexes and signaling pathways.
