Hypothesis
CentiBiN will facilitate the analysis and visualization of centralities in biological networks.
Conclusion
CentiBiN helps systems biology researchers to identify crucial elements of biological networks.
Supporting Evidence
- CentiBiN computes 17 different centralities for biological networks.
- It supports various input formats and provides graphical representations.
- CentiBiN is available as a free Java Web Start application and an installable Windows application.
Takeaway
CentiBiN is a computer program that helps scientists find the most important parts of biological networks, like proteins that interact with each other.
Methodology
CentiBiN computes and visualizes 17 different centralities for biological networks, supporting various input formats and graphical representations.
Limitations
Large networks with several thousand vertices are not displayed but can be analyzed and exported.
