This decomposition can be used to explore the organizational principles of integrated biological networks within cells. Reconstructing the structures of the regulatory and signaling networks operating within and between cells is a key component of the systems biology approach to understanding biological processes 1 . The multitude of high-throughput datasets now available for an increasing number of model organisms has enabled the development of systematic approaches for this reconstruction task for specific types of networks. A number of approaches have been developed for identifying co-regulated gene modules from gene expression and protein-DNA binding data 2 . Similarly protein-protein interaction data have been used to reconstruct signaling networks and protein complexes 3 . These reconstructions form a blueprint of the networks operating within the cell and can be used as a starting point for further studies on network function. One of the key uses of network reconstructions is deciphering the general organizational principles of biological networks these principles that are commonly studied include topological and functional modularity 4 5 network redundancy and robustness 6 7 and pathway cross-talk 8 9 . For certain types of network including .
