Monopartite graph
A monopartite graph is a graph containing one type of node, with edges connecting nodes within that single node set.
Graph Algorithms for Data Science
A monopartite graph is a graph containing one type of node, with relationships connecting nodes within that single node set.
- How it is used
- Supports graph-algorithm analysis by reducing a network to one node and relationship type.
- How deep it goes
- Defines the structure and works through projections, directedness, weighting, Cypher patterns, and Jaccard-based relationship weights.
- Examples
- Uses follower networks, tweet–hashtag networks, retweet amplification, user mentions, and overlapping shopping baskets.
- What you can do after
- Apply it via Cypher to model or project single-type networks for centrality and community analysis.

A monopartite subnetwork is a network containing one type of node, with connections only between nodes of that type.
- How it is used
- Frames protein interaction analysis as a single-node-type component within a multisource disease knowledge graph.
- How deep it goes
- Defines the structure and demonstrates extraction, density, component, and boundary analysis, but defers formal metric derivations.
- Examples
- Uses human proteins, celiac disease, disease-associated protein sets, and extracted PPI pathways.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate disease pathways by extracting their protein subnetworks and measuring internal and external connectivity.
