Almost all biological networks are subject to study bias, meaning that nodes which are studied more extensively will have more known interactions. Consequently, degree centrality may reflect how well-studied a protein is, rather than its true biological significance.
Conditions: Applies to biological networks subject to study bias.; The network is a biological network, such as a protein interaction network.
