Hypergraphs and Cellular Networks, PLoS Comput Biol Bookmark and Share

Summary: (...) hypergraphs generalize graphs by allowing for multilateral relationships between the nodes, which often results in a more precise description of biological processes. Hypergraphs thus provide an important approach for representing biological networks, whose potential has not been fully exploited yet. We therefore expect that applications of hypergraph theory in computational biology will increase in the near future.
