Classification of Approaches and Challenges of Frequent Subgraphs Mining in Biological Networks
share
Understanding the structure and dynamics of biological networks is one of the important challenges in system biology. In addition, increasing amount of experimental data in biological networks necessitate the use of efficient methods to analyze these huge amounts of data. Such methods require to recognize common patterns to analyze data. As biological networks can be modeled by graphs, the problem of common patterns recognition is equivalent with frequent sub graph mining in a set of graphs. In this paper, at first the challenges of frequent subgrpahs mining in biological networks are introduced and the existing approaches are classified for each challenge. then the algorithms are analyzed on the basis of the type of the approach they apply for each of the challenges.
