Regulatory motifs are patterns of activation and inhibition that appear repeatedly in various signaling networks and that show specific regulatory properties, such as oscillation, adaptaion and bistability [1]. For example, the interlinked positive and negative feedback loops controlling oscillations in the cell cycle and the circadian rhythm are oscillatory motifs [2], and the coupled positive feedback loops exhibiting bistable response in apoptosis and differentiation are bistable switch motifs [3]. The identification of regulatory motifs is important to understand the regulatory properties of signaling networks because these regulatory motifs have an essential role in exhibiting these regulatory properties and the regulatory properties of signaling networks are difficult to detect experimentally [4]. A small number of software tools were developed for statistical or numerical analysis of network topology to detect patterns that occur repeatedly within the network. For instance, the mFinder [5], MAVisto [6], FANMOD [7], SNAVI [8], and CytoKavosh [9] detect motifs that recur in the network much more often than expected in a random network; NetMatch [10] searches only for network motifs that match a user-defined query graph. In addition, the NetDS [11], a Cytoscape plugin, was recently developed to analyze a limited size of feedback and feedforward loops. However, it is difficult to identify regulatory motifs in thesignaling networks using.Ssion for structural biology.
