5 definition Definition (Graph isomorphism) Two graphs G =(V,E) and G 0 =(V 0,E 0 ) are said to be isomorphic if there exists a bijection f : V! V 0 such that for all u, v in V, uv 2 E () f(u)f(v) 2 E 0. 6

6 definition Definition (Graph isomorphism) Two graphs G =(V,E) and G 0 =(V 0,E 0 ) are said to be isomorphic if there exists a bijection f : V! V 0 such that for all u, v in V, uv 2 E () f(u)f(v) 2 E 0. Let G, H be two graphs with V (H) apple V (G). Anoccurrence of H in G is a subset V 0 of vertices of G such that H and G[V 0 ] are isomorphic. 6

7 definition If a graph H has at least an occurrence in a graph G, wesay that G admit H as (induced) subgraph. We denote by occ G (H) the set of occurrences of H in G. The cardinality of occ G (H) is called the frequency of H in G 7

15 motifs Given a network, most of the time, some subgraphs are overrepresented. A connected graph that has many occurrences in a network is called a motif of the network. 9

16 frequency When can we say that a graph H is frequent in G? 10

17 frequency When can we say that a graph H is frequent in G? Naïve way : Define a threshold. All graphs that have a frequency larger than the threshold are called frequent. 10

18 frequency When can we say that a graph H is frequent in G? Naïve way : Define a threshold. All graphs that have a frequency larger than the threshold are called frequent. The threshold usually depends on the size of H and G. 10

19 frequency When can we say that a graph H is frequent in G? Alternative way : Compute the probability that occ N (H) network N. occ G (H) for a random 11

20 frequency When can we say that a graph H is frequent in G? Alternative way : Compute the probability that occ N (H) occ G (H) for a random network N. H is said to be frequent in G is this probability is small enough. 11

21 frequency When can we say that a graph H is frequent in G? Alternative way : Compute the probability that occ N (H) occ G (H) for a random network N. H is said to be frequent in G is this probability is small enough. To compute this probability, we need to have a distribution over networks. 11

22 example: gene regulation network A gene regulation network is an oriented graph. The vertices correspond to genes and there is an arc from g1 to g2 if the protein that g1 encodes acts to alter the rate of expression of gene g2. 12

23 example: gene regulation network Among all possible directed subgraphs of size three, one of them has a significant higher frequency than the others. 13

24 example: gene regulation network Among all possible directed subgraphs of size three, one of them has a significant higher frequency than the others. It is called the feed-forward loop 14

25 feed-forward loop The gene X regulates Z by two di erent ways. 15

26 feed-forward loop In a Gene regulation network we can label the arcs to precise if the g1 regulates g 2 positively or negatively. 16

27 feed-forward loop In a Gene regulation network we can label the arcs to precise if the g1 regulates g 2 positively or negatively. A feed-forward loop may correspond to several patterns 16

35 coloured motifs 19

36 coloured graph A colouration c of a graph G =(V,E) is a map from V to a set of colours C. For a subset of vertices V 0 we denote by col(v 0 ) the multiset of colours of V 0. 20

37 example G V 0 } 21

38 example G V 0 col(v 0 ) { } 22

39 definition Coloured motif problem Input: A graph G =(V,E) with a colouration c : V!Cand a multiset of colours M Question: Is there a subset of vertices V 0 that induces a connected subgraph and such that col(v 0 )=M? 23

40 example G M { } 24

41 example G M { } 25

42 colours The colours model the similarity between vertices. In a protein-protein interaction network, two proteins have the same colours if they are homologous. In a metabolic network two reactions have the same colours if they use similar enzymes. 26

43 notations Let k be the size of the motif M and let c be the number of colours in M. Definition The motif M is colourful if k = c (each colour appear at most once in M) 27

44 di culty The problem is NP-complete even if: The graph is a tree and M is colourful. c =2and the graph is bipartite. M is colourful and the graph is of diameter two. 28

45 tractability The problem become polynomial if the size of the motif k is constant. More precisely, the problem parametrized by k is FPT!. There exists an algorithm of complexity O(poly(n)f(k)) where poly is a polynomial and f is a function that depends only on k. 29

46 colourful motifs of bounded size When the motif is colourful and the size of the motif is bounded, there is a dynamic programming algorithm of complexity O(n2 2k ). 30

47 colourful motifs of bounded size When the motif is colourful and the size of the motif is bounded, there is a dynamic programming algorithm of complexity O(n2 2k ). Main idea of the algorithm : Try to construct a tree containing all colours Given a vertex u, there exists a tree rooted in u containing all colours of M if there is a neighbour v of u and a set colours S such that there exists a tree rooted in u containing all colours of S and a tree rooted in v containing all colours of M \ S 30

48 dynamic programming algorithm Given a vertex u and a set of colours S M, wesaythat D(u, S) is True if there exists a tree rooted in u colourful on S. 31

49 dynamic programming algorithm Given a vertex u and a set of colours S M, wesaythat D(u, S) is True if there exists a tree rooted in u colourful on S. D(u, S) is True if and only if there exists S 0 ( S and a neighbour v of u such that D(u, S 0 )=True and D(v, S \ S 0 )=True. 31

50 dynamic programming algorithm Given a vertex u and a set of colours S M, wesaythat D(u, S) is True if there exists a tree rooted in u colourful on S. D(u, S) is True if and only if there exists S 0 ( S and a neighbour v of u such that D(u, S 0 )=True and D(v, S \ S 0 )=True. Base cases: If S = {c i } then D(u, S) =True i c i = col(u) 31

51 dynamic programming algorithm Given a vertex u and a set of colours S M, wesaythat D(u, S) is True if there exists a tree rooted in u colourful on S. D(u, S) is True if and only if there exists S 0 ( S and a neighbour v of u such that D(u, S 0 )=True and D(v, S \ S 0 )=True. Base cases: If S = {c i } then D(u, S) =True i c i = col(u) We build an V 2 M M where the value of the cell M i,j contains the value of D(v, S) where v is the i th vertex of the graph and S is the j th subset of M. 31
