Estimate eQTL networks using qpgraph
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this vignette we introduce the functionality of the qpgraph package to estimate eQTL networks from genetical genomics data. To meet the space and time constraints in building this vignette within the qpgraph package, we are going to simulate genetical genomics data instead of using a real data set. For this purpose, we will use the functionality described in another vignette from this package, entitled “Simulating molecular regulatory networks using qpgraph”. If you use the approach and functions described in this vignette in your own research, please cite the following article:

Simulating molecular regulatory networks using qpgraph
The theoretical substrate used by qpgraph to estimate network models of molecular regulatory interactions is that of graphical Markov models (GMMs). A useful way to understand the underpinnings of these models is to simulate them and simulate data from them. More importantly, these simulated data may serve the purpose of verifying properties of GMM estimation procedures, such as correctness or ...
متن کاملReverse engineering transcriptional regulatory networks from gene expression microarray data using qpgraph
This vignette describes how to use the package qpgraph in order to reverse engineer a transcriptional regulatory network from a particular gene expression microarray data set of Escherichia coli (E. coli). Concretely, the data corresponds to n = 43 experiments of various mutants under oxygen deprivation (Covert et al., 2004). The mutants were designed to monitor the response from E. coli during...
متن کاملGene network inference via structural equation modeling in genetical genomics experiments.
Our goal is gene network inference in genetical genomics or systems genetics experiments. For species where sequence information is available, we first perform expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping by jointly utilizing cis-, cis-trans-, and trans-regulation. After using local structural models to identify regulator-target pairs for each eQTL, we construct an encompassing directed n...
متن کاملGraph-regularized dual Lasso for robust eQTL mapping
MOTIVATION As a promising tool for dissecting the genetic basis of complex traits, expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping has attracted increasing research interest. An important issue in eQTL mapping is how to effectively integrate networks representing interactions among genetic markers and genes. Recently, several Lasso-based methods have been proposed to leverage such network inf...
متن کاملBayesian detection of expression quantitative trait loci hot spots.
High-throughput genomics allows genome-wide quantification of gene expression levels in tissues and cell types and, when combined with sequence variation data, permits the identification of genetic control points of expression (expression QTL or eQTL). Clusters of eQTL influenced by single genetic polymorphisms can inform on hotspots of regulation of pathways and networks, although very few hot...
