Topology-based DNA
Let's begin our exploration with the dynamic topology approach, using the following as our guidelines. We'll begin with an example instance before moving on to creating our own working examples using a few simple steps:
We'll start by exploring the concept of DNA using the graph generators familiarized in Chapter 4, Network Patterns. We'll begin with the dynamic graph example, which will be used to illustrate a very simple example of a dynamic network.
Next, we'll start preparing the data for use in a DNA project, which will allow us to leverage Gephi's built-in capabilities to create time intervals that facilitate dynamic networks.
Then we'll move on to the process of implementing, and ultimately working with, a dynamic network analysis example in Gephi.
Finally, we'll end the section with a discussion on what we learned from our example and how we might apply this process to other network datasets.
So without further delay, let's look at a very basic example of DNA as provided...
