Metabolomics combined with pattern recognition and bioinformatics analysis methods for the development of pharmacodynamic biomarkers on liver fibrosis.

abstract：:Biological networks are effective tools for studying molecular interactions. Modular structure, in which genes or proteins may tend to be associated with functional modules or protein complexes, is a remarkable feature of biological networks. Mining modular structure from biological networks enables us to focus on a s...
