Abstract

We report the reconstruction of the topology of gene regulatory network in human tissues. The results show that the connectivity of the regulatory gene network is characterized by a scale-free distribution. This result supports the hypothesis that scale-free networks may represent the common blueprint for gene regulatory networks.
