3. FunCoup is a data integration framework to discover functional coupling in eukaryotic proteomes with data from model organisms A worm B worm ? Find orthologs* Mouse Human Fly Yeast High-throughput evidence

4. FunCoup Each piece of data is evaluated Data FROM many eukaryotes (7) Practical maximum of data sources (>60) Predicted networks FOR a number of eukaryotes (8) Organism-specific efficient and robust Bayesian frameworks Orthology-based information transfer and phylogenetic profiling Networks predicted for different types of functional coupling (metabolic, signaling etc.)

5. C. elegans’ benefit from the model species data integration: Li&Vidal’s set 5535 pairs IntAct (Oct. 2007) 4517 pairs 6841 Other C. elegans data 36000 predicted C.elegans pairs

6. Species: H. sapiens M. musculus R. norvegicus D. melanogaster C. elegans S. cerevisiae A. thaliana Data sources in FunCoup: Types: Protein-protein interactions Protein domain associations Protein-DNA interactions mRNA expression Protein expression miRNA targeting Sub-cellular co-localization Phylogenetic profiling

7. Multilateral data transfer Human Ciona Worm Mouse Rat Fly Yeast Arabidopsis FunCoup Data from the same species is an important but not indispensable component of the framework. Hence, a network can be constructed for an organism with no experimental datasets at all.

14. FunCoup is a naïve Bayesian network (NBN) Bayesian inference: Genes A and B are functionally coupled Genes A and B co- expressed P(C|E) = (P(C) * P(E|C)) / P(E) A B

15. Problem:Solution: Treat ALL inparalogs equally, and choose the BEST value In situatons with multiple inparalogs, how to deal with alternative evidence?

16. Problem:Solution: Naïve Bayesian network. Calculate a belief change instead (likelihood ratios, LR). Assume NO data dependency Absolute probabilities of FC are intractable. The full Bayesian network is impossible A B P(B|C), P(C|B) P(B|A), P(A|B) P(B|D), P(D|B) P(A|C ), P(C|A ) P(D|C), P(C|D) P(A|D ), P(D|A ) P(E|+) / P(E|-) A B P(E|+) / P(E|-)

17. gene evolution functional link Problem:Solution: Via groups of orthologs that emerged from speciation How to establish optimal bridges between species?

18. Homologs P r o t e o m e A P r o t e o m e B Homologs: proteins with similar sequence and, thus, common origin

19. An InParanoid cluster of orthologs Inparalogs

20. Problem:Solution: Enforce confidence check and remove insignificant nodes Some LR are weak and arise due to non-representative sampling P(E|+) / P(E|-) A B P(E|+) / P(E|-) χ 2 - test

21. Reciprocally best hits P r o t e o m e A P r o t e o m e B

22. Problem:Solution: Multinet Decide which types of FC are needed (provide as positive training sets) and perform the previous steps customized Definitions and notions of FC vary A <> B P(E|+) / P(E|-) A| BA| B A <> B A || B A|BA|B

29. Validation Jack-knife procedure:  Take “positive” and “negative” sets  Split each randomly as 50:50  Use the first parts to train the algorithm, the second to test the performance  Repeat a number of times Analysis Of VAriance:  Introduce features A, B, C in the workflow of FunCoup (e.g., using PCA, selecting nodes of BN by relevance, ways of using ortholog data etc.)  Run FunCoup with all possible combinations of absence/presence of A, B, C to produce a balanced and orthogonal ANOVA design with replicates  Study effects of A,B,C or their combinations AxB, BxC,.. AxBxC to see if they influence the performance significantly (whereas all other effects did not exist)
