Network function shapes network structure: the case of the Arabidopsis flower organ specification genetic network.

Abstract excerpt

The reconstruction of many biological networks has allowed detailed studies of their structural properties. Several features exhibited by these networks have been interpreted to be the result of evolutionary dynamics. For instance the degree distributions may follow from a preferential attachment of new genes to older ones during evolution. Here we argue that even in the absence of any evolutionary dynamics, the...
