A statistical method for revealing form-function relations in biological networks
FormFunction is software used to identify the degree to which the form of a three-gene regulatory network constrains or determines its function. Results of FormFunction have been accepted for publication in PNAS. Corresponding sourcecode is implemented in MATLAB and can be downloaded here .
