A closer look at "social" boundary genes reveals knowledge to gene expression profiles.

As social network analysis is gaining popularity in modeling real world problems, the task of applying the social network model concepts and notions to biological data is still one of the most attractive research problems to be addressed. According, our work described in this paper focuses on a particular set of genes that reside on the community boundaries in gene co-expression networks. Stemmed from community mining problem in social networks, peripheries of communities (i.
