Motivation: Modularity analysis is a powerful tool for studying the design of biological networks, offering potential clues for relating the biochemical function(s) of a network with the wiring of its components. Relatively little work has been done to examine whether the modularity of a network depends on the physiological perturbations that influence its biochemical state. Here, we present a novel modularity analysis algorithm based on edge-betweenness centrality, which facilitates the use of directional information and measurable biochemical data.
