Comparing Genetic Programming and Evolution Strategies on Inferring Gene Regulatory Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years several strategies for inferring gene regulatory networks from observed time series data of gene expression have been suggested based on Evolutionary Algorithms. But often only few problem instances are investigated and the proposed strategies are rarely compared to alternative strategies. In this paper we compare Evolution Strategies and Genetic Programming with respect to their performance on multiple problem instances with varying parameters. We show that single problem instances are not sufficient to prove the effectiveness of a given strategy and that the Genetic Programming approach is less prone to varying instances than the Evolution Strategy.

H∞ Sampled-Data Controller Design for Stochastic Genetic Regulatory Networks
Artificially regulating gene expression is an important step in developing new treatment for system-level disease such as cancer. In this paper, we propose a method to regulate gene expression based on sampled-data measurements of gene products concentrations. Inherent noisy behaviour of Gene regulatory networks are modeled with stochastic nonlinear differential equation. To synthesize feed...

This paper describes an evolutionary method for identifying the gene regulatory network from the observed time series data of the gene’s expression. We use a system of ordinary differential equations as a model of the network and infer their right-hand sides by using Genetic Programming (GP). To explore the search space more effectively in the course of evolution, the least mean square (LMS) me...
متن کاملInferring Gene Regulatory Networks by Incremental Evolution and Network Decomposition
Constructing genetic regulatory networks from expression data is one of the most important issues in systems biology research. However, building regulatory models manually is a tedious task, especially when the number of genes involved increases with the complexity of regulation. To automate the procedure of network construction, we develop a methodology to infer S-systems as regulatory systems...

MOTIVATION Inferring the relationships between transcription factors (TFs) and their targets has utmost importance for understanding the complex regulatory mechanisms in cellular systems. However, the transcription factor activities (TFAs) cannot be measured directly by standard microarray experiment owing to various post-translational modifications. In particular, cooperative mechanism and com...

Genetical genomics approaches provide a powerful tool for studying the genetic mechanisms governing variation in complex traits. By combining information on phenotypic traits, pedigree structure, molecular markers and gene expression, such studies can be used for estimating heritability of mRNA transcript abundances, for mapping expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), and for inferring regul...
