We describe an approach for analyzing biological networks using rows of the Krylov subspace of the adjacency matrix. Specifically, we explore the scenario where the Krylov subspace matrix is computed via power iteration using a non-random and potentially non-uniform initial vector that captures a specific biological state or perturbation. In this case, the rows the Krylov subspace matrix (i.e., Krylov trajectories) carry important functional information about the network nodes in the biological context represented by the initial vector. We demonstrate the utility of this approach for community detection and perturbation analysis using the C. Elegans neural network.
