Analysis of human mitochondrial genome co-occurrence networks of Asian population at varying altitudes

Abstract Networks have been established as an extremely powerful framework to understand and predict the behavior of many large-scale complex systems. We studied network motifs, the basic structural elements of networks, to describe the possible role of co-occurrence of genomic variations behind hig...
