一种融合表达谱相关性信息的激活子网辨识算法

传统表达谱数据分析方法集中于寻找差异表达基因和共表达基因集合,没有考虑基因表达产物之间已知的相互作用.近年来在系统生物学的研究中发展了将基因表达谱与蛋白质相互作用网络进行整合分析的方法.现有方法未能综合考虑基因表达差异性和相关性信息,容易导致辨识结果中重要功能分子缺失且生物学功能相关度不高.提出一种融合表达谱差异性和相关性信息的激活子网辨识算法,能够在蛋白质相互作用网络中辨识高功能相关度的激活子网.应用到人免疫缺陷病毒HIV-1感染过程的研究,结果表明,该算法可以有效避免仅考虑基因表达差异性所引入的偏差,揭示了高相关性低表达差异基因在相关通路中的关键性作用.

Discovering active subnetwork in protein interaction network

Traditional analysis of gene expression data focused on identifying differentially expressed and co-expressed genes,which didn't take known interactions into consideration.In recent years,many methods have been developed to identify active subnetwork by integrating protein interaction networks with gene expression profiles.Current approaches failed to take full account of both difference and correlation in gene expression that may lead to false positive results.A new algorithm is proposed for identifying ac...
