A medium access control (MAC) protocol may be used to facilitate communication between nodes in a network. A protocol for allocating network resources between a set of nodes with demands may be an adaptive topology- and load-aware (TLA) allocation protocol. The allocation protocol may be executed by a bidder algorithm and an auctioneer algorithm on each node of the network. Claims and offers may be generated at each node and transmitted to other nodes on the network. The claims and offers may be updated as load and topology of the network change.

A computer system maintains a biological data structure having molecular feature data. The system receives data elements indicating biological molecular features and knowledge elements that represent biological concepts. The system individually associates unique identifiers with the elements. For individual elements, the system maintains an internal element set of the other unique identifiers for the other elements that are directly associated with that one individual element. For the individual elements, the system maintains an external element set of the other unique identifiers for the other elements that have that one individual element in their own internal element sets. Although not required, the computer system may process a query indicating a search scope and a molecular feature for an individual biological entity, and responsively process the molecular feature and the elements based on the search scope to induce a knowledge sub-graph for the individual biological entity.
