Transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) discovery from one method (e. g. microarray analysis, gene ontology, phylogenic similarity) does not seem feasible due to lack of sufficient information, resulting in the construction of spurious or incomplete TRNs. We develop a methodology, TRND, that integrates a preliminary TRN, microarray data, gene ontology and phylogenic similarity to accurately discover TRNs and apply the method to E. coli KI2. The approach can easily be extended to include other methodologies. Although gene ontology and phylogenic similarity have been used in the context of gene-gene networks, we show that more information can be extracted when gene-gene scores are transformed to gene-transcription factor (TF) scores using a preliminary TRN. This seems to be preferable over the construction of gene-gene interaction networks in light of the observed fact that gene expression and activity of a TF made of a component encoded by that gene is often out of phase. TRND multi-method integration is found to be facilitated by the use of a Bayesian framework for each method derived from its individual scoring measure and a training set of gene/TF regulatory interactions. The TRNs we construct are in better agreement with microarray data. The number of gene/TF interactions we discover is actually double that of existing networks.

Transcriptional regulatory network refinement and quantification through kinetic modeling, gene expression microarray data and information theory Sayyed-Ahmad, Abdallah; Tuncay, Kağan; Ortoleva, Peter J. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-23) Background: Gene expression microarray and other multiplex data hold promise for addressing the challenges of cellular complexity, refined diagnoses and the discovery of well-targeted treatments. A new approach to the construction and quantification of transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) is presented that integrates gene expression microarray data and cell modeling through information theory. Given a partial TRN and time series data, a probability density is constructed that is a functional of the ti...
Transcriptional regulatory networks via gene ontology and expression data Tuncay, Kağan; Sun, Jingjun; Haidar, Alaa Abi; Stanley, Frank; Trelinski, Michael; Ortoleva, Peter (2007-06-05) Transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) discovery using information from a single source does not seem feasible due to lack of sufficient information, resulting in the construction of spurious or incomplete TRNs. A methodology, TRND, that integrates a preliminary TRN, gene expression data and gene ontology is developed to discover TRNs. The method is applied to a comprehensive set of expression data on B cell and a preliminary TRN that included 1,335 genes, 443 transcription factors (TFs) and 4032 gene/TF ...
MicroarrayDesigner: an online search tool and repository for near-optimal microarray experimental designs Sacan, Ahmet; Ferhatosmanoglu, Nilgun; Ferhatosmanoglu, Hakan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-9-22) Background: Dual-channel microarray experiments are commonly employed for inference of differential gene expressions across varying organisms and experimental conditions. The design of dual-channel microarray experiments that can help minimize the errors in the resulting inferences has recently received increasing attention. However, a general and scalable search tool and a corresponding database of optimal designs were still missing. Description: An efficient and scalable search method for finding nea...
Discovering functional interaction patterns in protein-protein interaction networks Turanalp, Mehmet E.; Can, Tolga (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-11) Background: In recent years, a considerable amount of research effort has been directed to the analysis of biological networks with the availability of genome-scale networks of genes and/or proteins of an increasing number of organisms. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network is a particular biological network which represents physical interactions between pairs of proteins of an organism. Major research on PPI networks has focused on understanding the topological organization of PPI networks, evolution...
The differential quadrature solution of nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations using several time-integration schemes Meral, Gulnihal; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2011-04-01) Three different time-integration schemes, namely the finite difference method (FDM) with a relaxation parameter, the least-squares method (LSM) and the finite element method (FEM), are applied to the differential quadrature (DQM) solution of one-dimensional nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations. In the solution procedure, the space derivatives are discretized using DQM, which may also be used without the need of boundary conditions. The aim of the paper is to find computationally more efficient ti...
