Cis-regulatory Sequences

Cis-regulatory Sequences

Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Responses to Drought and Flooding

Responses to Drought and Flooding

Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - II

Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - II

The Bradford Hill criteria serve as guidelines for establishing causative links in epidemiological research. Beyond Strength, Consistency, Specificity, and Temporality, key criteria also include Biological Gradient, Plausibility, Coherence, Experiment, and Analogy. These principles assist scientists in assessing the likelihood of causation in complex biological contexts. Below is a summary of these concepts:

Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - I

Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - I

The Bradford Hill criteria are a group of principles that provide a framework to determine a causal relationship between a specific factor and a disease. There are nine criteria that are pivotal in assessing causality in epidemiological studies. Here's a closer look at Strength, Consistency, Specificity, and Temporality criteria with definitions and examples:

Background:

The increasing volume of genomic data offers potential for improved gene regulatory network (GRN) reconstruction.
Bayesian networks are promising for GRN reconstruction due to their probabilistic nature.
Existing Bayesian network methods face challenges with excessive computation time and large sample size requirements.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce the Flooding-Pruning Hill-Climbing (FPHC) algorithm, a novel hybrid Bayesian network approach for GRN reconstruction.
To address the limitations of existing methods, particularly in scenarios with limited biological samples.

Main Methods:

Development of the FPHC algorithm, integrating Bayesian networks with a novel DPI Level concept based on data processing inequality (DPI).
Utilizing a search-and-score approach within a restricted search space for network structure learning.
Theoretical analysis and validation of FPHC effectiveness.

Main Results:

FPHC demonstrates superior performance compared to standard hill climbing and Max-Min Hill-Climbing (MMHC) in terms of network structure and running time.
The algorithm effectively identifies gene neighbors even with limited biological samples.
Extensive experiments on known Bayesian networks and DREAM challenge datasets validate FPHC's efficacy.

Conclusions:

The FPHC algorithm offers a more efficient and accurate solution for gene regulatory network reconstruction.
FPHC is particularly well-suited for applications involving limited biological data, overcoming a key limitation of traditional methods.
