Abstract:
We present a method for gene network inference and revision based on time-series data. Gene networks are modeled using linear differential equations and a generalized stepwise multiple linear regression procedure is used to recover the interaction coefficients. Our system is designed for the recovery of gene interactions concurrently in many gene regulatory networks related by a tree or a more general graph. We show how this comparative framework can facilitate the recovery of the networks and improve the quality of the solutions inferred.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
