Finding protein functional modules in protein interaction networks amounts to finding densely connected subgraphs. This technique proposes a method to identify cliques on weighted graphs.  Using protein network from TAP-MS experiment on yeast, they discover a large number of cliques that are densely connected protein modules, with clear biological meanings as shown on Gene Ontology analysis.


        Weights and cliques in the weighted protein-protein interaction network about original grapgh and transitive closure.
