L-HetNetAligner: A novel algorithm for Local Alignment of Heterogeneous Biological Networks.

ABSTRACT: Networks are largely used for modelling and analysing a wide range of biological data. As a consequence, many different research efforts have resulted in the introduction of a large number of algorithms for analysis and comparison of networks. Many of these algorithms can deal with networks with a single class of nodes and edges, also referred to as homogeneous networks. Recently, many different approaches tried to integrate into a single model the interplay of different molecules. A possible formalism to model such a scenario comes from node/edge coloured networks (also known as heterogeneous networks) implemented as node/ edge-coloured graphs. Therefore, the need for the introduction of algorithms able to compare heterogeneous networks arises. We here focus on the local comparison of het
