Systems, methods and recordable media for facilitating user-guidance of computational analysis and knowledge extraction tools for use with biological data for disambiguation and determination of causation in representations of the data. Systems, methods, tools and computer readable media for user-guided expansion of biological networks and manipulations of the same. Tools for qualitative simulation of network models, for identifying interactions between multiple networks and form maintaining knowledge about multiple alternative biological networks. Combinations of portions of networks may be constructed to provide optimal networks. Networks may be evaluated against experimental data and networks of interest may be identified based on experimental data.
