Abstract excerpt
Proteins interact in complex protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks whose topological properties-such as scale-free topology, hierarchical modularity, and dissortativity-have suggested models of network evolution. Currently preferred models invoke preferential attachment or gene duplication and divergence to produce networks whose topology matches that observed for real PPIs, thus supporting these as likely...
