Reverse Engineering the Gap Gene Network of Drosophila melanogaster
A fundamental problem in functional genomics is to determine the structure and dynamics of genetic networks based on expression data. We describe a new strategy for solving this problem and apply it to recently published data on early Drosophila melanogaster development. Our method is orders of magnitude faster than current fitting methods and allows us to fit different types of rules for expre...
متن کاملReverse-Engineering Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Gap Genes in Drosophila melanogaster
Systems biology proceeds through repeated cycles of experiment and modeling. One way to implement this is reverse engineering, where models are fit to data to infer and analyse regulatory mechanisms. This requires rigorous methods to determine whether model parameters can be properly identified. Applying such methods in a complex biological context remains challenging. We use reverse engineerin...
متن کاملThe gene network determining development of Drosophila melanogaster mechanoreceptors
Macrochaetes (large bristles), functioning as mechanoreceptors, are located in an orderly fashion on the drosophila head and body forming a species-specific bristle pattern. A simple organization of each bristle organ, comprising only four specialized cells, and conservation of bristle pattern make macrochaetes a convenient model for studying the development patterns of spatial structures with ...
متن کاملReverse evolution of fitness in Drosophila melanogaster
The evolution of fitness is central to evolutionary theory, yet few experimental systems allow us to track its evolution in genetically and environmentally relevant contexts. Reverse evolution experiments allow the study of the evolutionary return to ancestral phenotypic states, including fitness. This in turn permits well-defined tests for the dependence of adaptation on evolutionary history a...
متن کاملConstraint-based modeling of the Drosophila Gap-gene regulatory network
We present a constraint-based assistant for the modeling of the dynamics of biological networks. The global aim is to automate some modeling tasks by providing high-level functionalities to biologists. Network dynamics is represented by the discrete abstraction of R. Thomas (Thomas and Kaufman (2001)), which is briefly introduced. We explain how this formalism is cast into Constraint Logic Prog...
