All networks, including [[biological network]]s, social networks, technological networks (e.g., computer networks and electrical circuits) and more, can be represented as [[complex network|graphs]], which include a wide variety of subgraphs. One important local property of networks are so-called '''network motifs''', which are defined as recurrent and [[statistically significant]] sub-graphs or patterns. | All networks, including [[biological network]]s, social networks, technological networks (e.g., computer networks and electrical circuits) and more, can be represented as [[complex network|graphs]], which include a wide variety of subgraphs.
