TY - JOUR A1 - Larhlimi, Abdelhalim A1 - Blachon, Sylvain A1 - Selbig, Joachim A1 - Nikoloski, Zoran T1 - Robustness of metabolic networks a review of existing definitions JF - Biosystems : journal of biological and information processing sciences N2 - Describing the determinants of robustness of biological systems has become one of the central questions in systems biology. Despite the increasing research efforts, it has proven difficult to arrive at a unifying definition for this important concept. We argue that this is due to the multifaceted nature of the concept of robustness and the possibility to formally capture it at different levels of systemic formalisms (e.g, topology and dynamic behavior). Here we provide a comprehensive review of the existing definitions of robustness pertaining to metabolic networks. As kinetic approaches have been excellently reviewed elsewhere, we focus on definitions of robustness proposed within graph-theoretic and constraint-based formalisms.

The need to assimilate large amounts of data into biologically meaningful interpretations has necessitated the development of statistical methods to integrate multidimensional information. Throughout this review, we provide examples of recent outcomes of ‘omics’ data integration together with an overview of available statistical methods and tools.
