Gene Network Directed network –nodes : genes –edges : regulation –including loops –Scale-free: Degree distribution: –power law P(k) ~ k -λ

Random Network Model ER model –each pair of nodes connected by an edge with probability p –Independence of the edges –poisson degree distribution (e.g. P(k) ~ e -k for k) BA model –Scale-free distribution ( P(k) ~ k -x ) –Process: new nodes prefer attached to already high degree nodes

FunGen : Reconstructing Biological Networks Using Conditional Correlation Analysis Synthetic network Network dynamics Simulation protocol - perturbation Conditional correlation –Correlation is symetric –Matrix is non-symetric –May lead to indirect connection False positive ( indirect connection ) + false negative ( noise ) – error = FP/(FP+TN) + FN/(FN+TP) Reduce false positive –Choose optimal ρ_opt –Triangle reduction construction

ARACNE: Algorithm for Reconstructing Accurate Cellular Network Assume two-way interaction: pairwise potential determines all statistical dependencies + uniform marginal distributions Mutual information (MI) = measure of relatedness Independency Data processing inequality: if genes g 1 and g 3 interact through g 2 then ARACNE starts with network so for every edge look at gene triplets and remove edge with smallest MI Ignore the direction of the edges Reconstruct tree-network topologies exactly –higher-order potential interactions will not be accounted for (ARACNE’s algorithm will open 3-gene loops). –A two-gene interaction will be detected iff there are no alternate paths.
