This project explores the concept of modularity in biological systems, focusing on how certain processes can operate semi-autonomously. It aims to analyze directed networks to identify structural signatures of modules and understand their evolution under various scenarios.
Most functions and structures in living organisms seem to depend on subsets of elements organized as modules.
In a modular system a certain process, performed by a module, does not depend heavily on the elements outside the module, and hence it is semi-autonomous.
Modularity promotes evolvability, an organism’s capacity to generate heritable phenotypic variation, because it permits adjustment of a module without perturbing other functions and allows the combination of previously evolved function…
