Summary
Dynamic processes in the cell are triggered and controlled by networks of interacting biomolecules, often comprising tens or hundreds of components. Although a vast amount of players (proteins, genes, metabolites) has been identified, their mutual interactions remain often hidden. Computational methods for reconstructing the topologies of cellular networks from experimental data are therefore a key research area in Systems Biology. The ARB group at the MPI in Magdeburg developed novel algorithms for biological network reconstruction and applied them successfully to realistic problems.
