Abstract
A fundamental task in systems biology is to quantify the contributions of the systems’ parts and their interactions. Here I describe a powerful concept and tool for this purpose: Network reconstitution. Genotypes of an organism that represent all possible combinations of the subnetworks in question will be quantitatively phenotyped. The quantitative phenotype data is analyzed using an R script to obtain estimates for single subnetwork contributions and their interactions.
