Background:Latest studies reveal the importance of Protein-Protein interactions on physiologic functions and biological structures. Several stochastic and algorithmic methods have been published until now, for the modeling of the complex nature of the biological systems.Objective:Biological Networks computational modeling is still a challenging task. The formulation of the complex cellular interactions is a research field of great interest. In this review paper, several computational methods for the modeling of GRN and PPI are presented analytically.Methods:Several well-known GRN and PPI models are presented and discussed in this review study such as: Graphs representation, Boolean Networks, Generalized Logical Networks, Bayesian Networks, Relevance Networks, Graphical Gaussian models, Weight Matrices, Reverse Engineering Approach, Evolutionary Algorithms, Forward Modeling Approach, Deterministic models, Static models, Hybrid models, Stochastic models, Petri Nets, BioAmbients calculus and Differential Equations.Results:GRN and PPI methods have been already applied in various clinical processes with potential positive results, establishing promising diagnostic tools.Conclusion:In literature many stochastic algorithms are focused in the simulation, analysis and visualization of the various biological networks and their dynamics interactions, which are referred and described in depth in this review paper.

Background:Biological network alignment has been widely studied in the context of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, metabolic networks and others in bioinformatics. The topological structure of networks and genomic sequence are generally used by existing methods for achieving this task.Objective and Method:Here we briefly survey the methods generally used for this task and introduce a variant with incorporation of functional annotations based on similarity in Gene Ontology (GO). Making full use of GO information is beneficial to provide insights into precise biological network alignment.Results and Conclusion:We analyze the effect of incorporation of GO information to network alignment. Finally, we make a brief summary and discuss future directions about this topic.

Evolutionary processes of many complex networks in reality are dominated by duplication and divergence. This mechanism leads to redundant structures, i.e. some nodes share most of their neighbors and some local patterns are similar, called redundancy of network. An interesting reverse problem is to discover evolutionary information from the present topological structure. We propose a quantitative measure of redundancy of network from the perspective of principal component analysis. The redundancy of a community in the empirical human metabolic network is negatively and closely related with its evolutionary age, which is consistent with that for the communities in the modeling protein–protein network. This behavior can be used to find the evolutionary difference stored in cellular networks.
