Inferring Gene Regulatory Networks by Incremental Evolution and Network Decomposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Constructing genetic regulatory networks from expression data is one of the most important issues in systems biology research. However, building regulatory models manually is a tedious task, especially when the number of genes involved increases with the complexity of regulation. To automate the procedure of network construction, we develop a methodology to infer S-systems as regulatory systems. Our work also deals with the scalability problem by an incremental evolution strategy and a network decomposition method with several data analysis techniques. To verify the presented approaches, experiments have been conducted and the results show that they can be used to infer gene regulatory networks successfully.

Inferring transcriptional regulatory networks from gene-expression data remains a challenging problem, in part because of the noisy nature of the data and the lack of strong network models. Time-series expression data have shown promise and recent work by Babu on the evolution of regulatory networks in E. coli and S. cerevisiae opened another avenue of investigation. In this paper we take the e...

MOTIVATION Microarray gene expression data has increasingly become the common data source that can provide insights into biological processes at a system-wide level. One of the major problems with microarrays is that a dataset consists of relatively few time points with respect to a large number of genes, which makes the problem of inferring gene regulatory network an ill-posed one. On the othe...
