Biological networks such as metabolic, gene regulatory, and protein interaction networks show how various biochemical entities interact with each other to perform vital functions that they cannot perform alone. A critical common property of biological networks is that although the individual entities of a pathway may have specific functions, they play additional roles in the entire network by communicating with other entities. This Special Issue focuses on novel computational approaches and methods for understanding biological networks. This issue will publish original, high-quality research articles. High-risk/high-gain ideas for understanding biological networks are welcome. Manuscripts should include biological impact and validation as well as technical depth. The topics that are included (but not limited to) in this issue are: * Pathway reconstruction * Comparison and querying of biological networks * Annotation of functional subnetworks * Motif discovery in networks * Steady-state analysis of networks and the whole cell model * Analysis of network-disease family relationships Before submission, authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/abi/guidelines.html.
