A Clique-Based Approach to the Identification of Common Gene Association Sub-Networks

Abstract

We developed a computational framework to identify common gene association sub-network. This framework combines graphical lasso model, graph product and a replicator equation based clique solver. We applied this method to find common stress responsive sub-networks from two related Deinococcus-Thermus bacterial species.
