Figure 1. Signaling Pathway Representations.

Figure 1

There are three main ways of representing signaling pathways. A signaling pathway may be simply represented as a set of proteins, with no additional information. Graphs encode pairwise interactions between proteins; these interactions may be undirected (green) or directed (blue). Hypergraphs, the focus of this article, encode multi-way interactions and reactions (see Box 1 for examples).
