The inference of Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) is a very challenging problem which has attracted increasing attention since the development of high-throughput sequencing and gene expression measurement technologies. Many models and algorithms have been developed to identify GRNs using mainly gene expression profile as data source. As the gene expression data usually has limited number of samples and inherent noise, the integration of gene expression with several other sources of information can be vital for accurately inferring GRNs. For instance, some prior information about the overall topological structure of the GRN can guide inference techniques toward better results. In addition to gene expression data, recently biological information from heterogeneous data sources have been integrated by GRN inference methods as well. The objective of this chapter is to present an overview of GRN inference models and techniques with focus on incorporation of prior information such as, global and local topological features and integration of several heterogeneous data sources.

AbstractHigh-throughput technologies, such as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) have enabled cost and time efficient generation of immense amount of genome data. The advent of advanced sequencing techniques allowed biologists and bioinformaticians to investigate biological aspects of cell function and understand or reveal unexplored disease etiologies. Systems biology attempts to formulate the molecular mechanisms in mathematical models and one of the most important areas is the gene regulatory networks (GRNs), a collection of DNA segments that somehow interact with each other. GRNs incorporate valuable information about molecular targets that can be corellated to specific phenotype.In our study we highlight the need to develop new explorative tools and approaches for the integration of different types of -omics data such as ChIP-seq and GRNs using pathway analysis methodologies. We present an integrative approach for ChIP-seq and gene expression data on GRNs. Using public microarray expression samples for lung cancer and healthy subjects along with the KEGG human gene regulatory networks, we identified ways to disrupt functional sub-pathways on lung cancer with the aid of CTCF ChIP-seq data, as a proof of concept.We expect that such a systems biology pipeline could assist researchers to identify corellations and causality of transcription factors over functional or disrupted biological sub-pathways.

The development of computational methods to predict gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from gene expression data is a challenging task. Many machine learning methods have been developed, including supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised to infer gene regulatory networks. Most of these methods ignore the class imbalance problem which can lead to decreasing the accuracy of predicting regulatory interactions in the network. Therefore, developing an effective method considering imbalanced data is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose EnGRNT approach to infer GRNs with high accuracy that uses ensemble-based methods. The proposed approach, as well as the gene expression data, considers the topological features of GRN. We applied our approach to the simulated Escherichia coli dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the appropriateness of the inference method relies on the size and type of expression profiles in microarray data. Except for multifactorial experimental conditions, the proposed approach outperforms unsupervised methods. The obtained results recommend the application of EnGRNT on the imbalanced datasets.

SummaryReconstructing gene regulatory networks (GRNs) and inferring the gene dynamics are important to understand the behavior and the fate of the normal and abnormal cells. Gene regulatory networks could be reconstructed by experimental methods or from gene expression data. Recent advances in Single Cell RNA sequencing technology and the computational method to reconstruct trajectory have generated huge scRNA-seq data tagged with additional time labels. Here, we present a deep learning model “Neural Gene Network Constructor” (NGNC), for inferring gene regulatory network and reconstructing the gene dynamics simultaneously from time series gene expression data. NGNC is a model-free heterogenous model, which can reconstruct any network structure and non-linear dynamics. It consists of two parts: a network generator which incorporating gumbel softmax technique to generate candidate network structure, and a dynamics learner which adopting multiple feedforward neural networks to predict the dynamics. We compare our model with other well-known frameworks on the data set generated by GeneNetWeaver, and achieve the state of the arts results both on network reconstruction and dynamics learning.
