Pyntacle: a parallel computing-enabled framework for large-scale network biology analysis

摘要

Some natural systems are big in size, complex, and often characterized by convoluted mechanisms of interaction, such as epistasis, pleiotropy, and trophism, which cannot be immediately ascribed to individual natural events or biological entities but that are often derived from group effects. However, the determination of important groups of entities, such as genes or proteins, in complex systems is considered a computationally hard task.
