EvoKEN combines a unique formalism for integrating multiple types of data associated with network molecular components and knowledge extraction techniques for detecting cohesive/anomalous evolutionary processes. We analyzed known human pathway maps and identified perturbations or specializations at the local topology level that reveal important evolutionary and functional aspects of these cellular systems.
