| Abstract | Network analysis-based module detection has significant implications in many fields. In cellular/ molecular biology, module detection based on analyses of metabolic/regulatory networks will not only help us understand more about the function and evolution of cellular machinery of an organism, but will also provide tractable contextual information for potential drug targets and facilitate improvements in drug designs. We here present our preliminary study on the module detection for bacteria based on the spectral clustering of the protein-protein functional association networks. We first examined how the parameter of the spectral clustering algorithm (i.e., the number of clusters) affects our module detection results, and demonstrated that when the number of clusters was set too small or too large the resulting module collection deteriorate in terms of gene coverage and intra-module association. We then compared our predicted modules against the randomly generated modules, and demonstrated that our modules (i) have a higher ratio of the intra-module to inter-module gene-gene functional association scores and (ii) can better capture the modularization information inherent in the experimentally verified modules. Finally we compared the module collections of seven bacterial organisms, and observed that modules related to membrane transport and cell motility are among those that are conserved among multiple organisms. Because it is desirable from both scientific and technical points of view to study functional modules at various resolution levels, we believe that the spectral clustering algorithm, with the flexibility rendered by different parameter settings, provides an appropriate solution in terms of capturing the modularization properties of networks and computational affordability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
