Abstract:
Modern microarray technology is capable of providing data about the expression of thousands of genes, and even of whole genomes. An important question is how this technology can be used most effectively to unravel the workings of cellular machinery. Here, we propose a method to infer genetic networks on the basis of data from appropriately designed microarray experiments. In addition to identifying the genes that affect a specific other gene directly, this method also estimates the strength of such effects. We will discuss both the experimental setup and the theoretical background.

Combinatorial Gene Control
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...
