How to infer gene networks from expression profiles, revisited.
Inferring the topology of a gene-regulatory network (GRN) from genome-scale time-series measurements of transcriptional change has proved useful for disentangling complex biological processes. To address the challenges associated with this inference, a number of competing approaches have previously been used, including examples from information theory, Bayesian and dynamic Bayesian networks (DB...
متن کاملHow to Infer from Inconsisent Beliefs without Revising?
This paper investigates several methods for coping with inconsistency caused by multiple source information, by introducing suitable consequence relations capable of inferring non-trivial conclusions from an inconsistent stratified knowledge base. Some of these methods presuppose a revision step, namely a selection of one or several consistent subsets of formulas, and then classical inference i...
متن کاملHow to infer gene networks from expression profiles
Inferring, or 'reverse-engineering', gene networks can be defined as the process of identifying gene interactions from experimental data through computational analysis. Gene expression data from microarrays are typically used for this purpose. Here we compared different reverse-engineering algorithms for which ready-to-use software was available and that had been tested on experimental data set...
متن کاملHow to infer temporal relations in discourse?
How can readers and listeners infer temporal relations in discourse? One of the basic inferential task in discourse comprehension consists in inferring time direction, that is, in determining the time of the event relative to the thread of discourse. I show that the computation of directional inference is the result of the interaction contextual and linguistic information. Finally, I answer the...
متن کاملEvolutionary explanations in medicine: how do they differ and how to benefit from them.
Evolutionary explanations, many of which have appeared on the pages of this journal, are becoming more pervasive and influential in medicine, so it is becoming more important to understand how these types of explanations differ from the proximate approach that is more common in medicine, and how the evolutionary approach can contribute to medicine. Understanding of any biological phenomenon can...
