K. Praveenkumar, P. Naga Jyothi* and Y. Suneetha

ABSTRACT

Network analysis of biological systems is useful for elate integration and analysis as it is gaining wide acceptance. Representation of biological system is just the beginning and it provides overview of the system under investigation. As the biological intracellular systems are dynamic, biological outcomes defines the quantitative balances between components. Network models that include more details about the kinetics, localization, and quantities of the molecular components should aid in understanding cellular behavior and cellular regulation at the molecular level from a systems perspective. This overview provide the idea of network analysis to predict interaction of genes and proteins in a biological network of genome to identify the gene or protein as target and aids in the prognosis of disease or malfunction in a biological pathway.
