Bayesian hierarchical modelling for inferring genetic interactions in yeast
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantitative fitness analysis (QFA) is a high throughput experimental and computational methodology for measuring the growth of microbial populations. QFA screens can be used to compare the health of cell populations with and without a mutation in a query gene to infer genetic interaction strengths genomewide, examining thousands of separate genotypes. We introduce Bayesian hierarchical models of population growth rates and genetic interactions that better reflect QFA experimental design than current approaches. Our new approach models population dynamics and genetic interaction simultaneously, thereby avoiding passing information between models via a univariate fitness summary. Matching experimental structure more closely, Bayesian hierarchical approaches use data more efficiently and find new evidence for genes which interact with yeast telomeres within a published data set.

Bayesian approach to inference of population structure
Methods of inferring the population structure, its applications in identifying disease models as well as foresighting the physical and mental situation of human beings have been finding ever-increasing importance. In this article, first, motivation and significance of studying the problem of population structure is explained. In the next section, the applications of inference of p...
متن کاملASIAN: Automatic System for Inferring a Network from Gene Expression Profiles
Recently, we have developed two methods for expression profile analysis. One is the automatic determination of cluster boundaries in hierarchical clustering of profiles [2], and another is the inference of a genetic network by application of graphical Gaussian modeling (GGM) [4]. Here, we synthesize the newly developed methods into a system, named ASIAN (Automatic System for Inferring A Network...
متن کاملPosterior Association Networks and Functional Modules Inferred from Rich Phenotypes of Gene Perturbations
Combinatorial gene perturbations provide rich information for a systematic exploration of genetic interactions. Despite successful applications to bacteria and yeast, the scalability of this approach remains a major challenge for higher organisms such as humans. Here, we report a novel experimental and computational framework to efficiently address this challenge by limiting the 'search space' ...
متن کاملProject Portfolio Risk Response Selection Using Bayesian Belief Networks
Risk identification, impact assessment, and response planning constitute three building blocks of project risk management. Correspondingly, three types of interactions could be envisioned between risks, between impacts of several risks on a portfolio component, and between several responses. While the interdependency of risks is a well-recognized issue, the other two types of interactions remai...
متن کاملMultilevel linear modelling for FMRI group analysis using Bayesian inference.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies often involve the acquisition of data from multiple sessions and/or multiple subjects. A hierarchical approach can be taken to modelling such data with a general linear model (GLM) at each level of the hierarchy introducing different random effects variance components. Inferring on these models is nontrivial with frequentist solutions being unavaila...
