Because networks not only help visualize highly interdependent data, but also allow stringent mathematical and statistical analysis, the approach is often being applied to the massive and complex data now being generated in biology. Biostaticians here review and explore statistical, mathematical, and evolutionary theory and tools for understanding biological networks. The topics include the evolutionary analysis of protein interaction networks, network concepts and epidemiological models, and statistical null models for biological network analysis.
