</div>My friend worked on algorithms for discovering 'pathways' in abstract<br>
protein-protein interaction networks. I suggested that he patent this<br>
for intelligence gathering purposes, but he didn't see the point. I'm<br>
really thinking to start a business to apply biologically motivated<br>
analysis (PPI networks) to sites like Facebook.</blockquote><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Now that's interesting, 3-D maps have been generated of genetic polymorphic populations using principal co-ordinate vectors produced from a Nei & Li similarity matrix representing genetic distance. <br>
