DESCRIPTION:Insights into the molecular interactions in biochemical pathwa
 ys is critical in biological discovery\, for example in uncovering the des
 ign principles of biological organisms\, understanding how diseases develo
 p or discovering novel or more potent drugs.\nNovel data mining protocols 
 for network analysis are presented and involve computational representatio
 n of network properties\, integration of data from various sources and mat
 hematical techniques to detect modules in protein networks. The use of dat
 a classification methods is also discussed in deriving disease subgroups w
 ith similar gene expression signatures in skin inflammation. Overall\, suc
 h methods have the potential to enhance understanding of mechanisms in pat
 hological conditions\, as well as to offer a comprehensive view of disease
  network dynamics.
