Abstract

Searching for repeated features characterizing biological data is fundamental in computational biology. When biological networks are under analysis, the presence of repeated modules across the same network (or several distinct ones) is shown to be very relevant. Indeed, several studies prove that biological networks can be often understood in terms of coalitions of basic repeated building blocks, often referred to as network motifs.This work provides a review of the main techniques proposed for motif extraction from biological networks. In particular, main intrinsic difficulties related to the problem are pointed out, along with solutions proposed in the literature to overcome them. Open challenges and directions for future research are finally discussed.
