description Advances in high-throughput technologies have provided many opportunities for researchers to study and better understand the dynamic mechanisms of systems biology. These systems are frequently formed by a functional organisation of networks that recapitulate specific biological processes.

Recently, many graph partitioning algorithms have been proposed for detecting these modules, focusing only on detecting highly interactive proteins and neglecting proteins participating in sparse interactions.
