Many biological networks, including transcriptional regulation, metabolism, and the absorbance spectra of metabolite mixtures, can be represented in a bipartite fashion. Key to understanding these bipartite networks are the network architecture and governing source signals. Such information is often implicitly imbedded in the data. Here we develop a technique, network component mapping (NCM), to deduce bipartite network connectivity and regulatory signals from data without any need for prior information.
