  • We show identifiability results on this model and design a consistent three-stage algorithm that discovers clusters of observed nodes, a partial ordering over clusters, and finally, the entire structure over both observed and latent nodes. (chandlersquires.com)
  • Can trophic structure be used to identify node function in systems like gene regulatory networks? (birmingham.ac.uk)
  • H. cruentum plants were subjected to a 7 days long desiccation-rehydration process and then used to identify key expressed genes associated to its capacity to dehydrate and rehydrate. (frontiersin.org)
  • Our focus is on network analysis and modeling, integrated with cancer profiles that will enable us to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, understand disease initiation and progression, which will lead to improving cancer treatment. (toronto.edu)
  • All of these features stress how inadequate an explanation for function we can achieve solely by trying to identify genes (by annotating them! (pharmaceuticalintelligence.com)
  • However, the chance to successfully develop patient-tailored therapies is still very limited because reprogramming technologies lack a comprehensive understanding of the molecular processes involved, and manufacturing cells requires knowledge of the exact combination of genes governing the transitions from the starting cell type to the target type. (tigem.it)
  • Network biology has been widely used in molecular biology and genetics, where several network properties have been shown to be functionally important. (biomedcentral.com)
  • A graphical model is a statistical model that is associated with a graph whose nodes correspond to variables of interest. (tum.de)
  • Gene and cell therapies that improve cancer treatments. (lu.se)
  • This article focuses specifically on BRCA2, while sidelining its sister gene BRCA1, as evidence for a broad cancer spectrum is much stronger for the former. (cdc.gov)
  • Here, we provide an experimental workflow on how to construct gene regulatory networks using the chick as model system. (uea.ac.uk)
  • It uses a local approximation to the system of differential equations that relies on sparse priors, which localizes uncertainty and renders the algorithm scalable to complex networks. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Indeed, using the locally inferred network structure and parameters, LEM produces a complete system of ODEs capable of generating dynamic predictions. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Mucosa serves to educate the immune system, leading to a host that is more susceptible to autoimmunity through alteration of regulatory cells. (medscape.com)
  • BayesSuites solves the problems of scalability, extensibility and interpretability that massive networks bring by separating backend calculations from the frontend interface and using specialized learning algorithms for massive networks. (upm.es)
