Abstract:
We propose an integrated, comprehensive network-inferring system for genetic interactions, named VoyaGene, which can analyze experimentally observed expression profiles by using and combining the following five independent inferring models: Clustering, Threshold-Test, Bayesian, multi-level digraph and S-system models. Since VoyaGene also has effective tools for visualizing the inferred results, researchers may evaluate the combination of appropriate inferring models, and can construct a genetic network to an accuracy that is beyond the reach of a single inferring model. Through the use of VoyaGene, the present study demonstrates the effectiveness of combining different inferring models.

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...
