Abstract

In order to compare biological networks numerous methods have been developed. Here, we give an overview of existing methods to compare biological networks meaningfully. Therefore we survey classical approaches of exact an inexact graph matching and discuss existing approaches to compare special types of biological networks. Moreover we review graph kernel-based methods and describe an approach based on structural network measures to classify large biological networks. The aim of this chapter is to provide a survey of techniques to compare biological networks for the interdisciplinary research community dealing with novel research questions in the field of systems biology.
