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.

The gene expression analysis is an important research area of Bioinformatics. The gene expression data analysis aims to understand the genes interacting phenomena, gene functionality and the genes mutations effect. The Gene regulatory network analysis is one of the gene expression data analysis tasks. Gene regulatory network aims to study the genes interactions topological organization. The regulatory network is critical for understanding the pathological phenotypes and the normal cell physiology. There are many researches that focus on gene regulatory network analysis but unfortunately some algorithms are affected by data size. Where, the algorithm runtime is proportional to the data size, therefore, some parallel algorithms are presented to enhance the algorithms runtime and efficiency. This work presents a background, mathematical models and comparisons about gene regulatory networks analysis different techniques. In addition, this work proposes Parallel Architecture for Gene Regulatory Network (PAGeneRN).

There is an increasing interest in clustering time course gene expression data to investigate a wide range of biological processes. However, developing a clustering algorithm ideal for time course gene express data is still challenging. As timing is an important factor in defining true clusters, a clustering algorithm shall explore expression correlations between time points in order to achieve a high clustering accuracy. Moreover, inter-cluster gene relationships are often desired in order to facilitate the computational inference of biological pathways and regulatory networks. In this paper, a new clustering algorithm called CurveSOM is developed to offer both features above. It first presents each gene by a cubic smoothing spline fitted to the time course expression profile, and then groups genes into clusters by applying a self-organizing map-based clustering on the resulting splines. CurveSOM has been tested on three well-studied yeast cell cycle datasets, and compared with four popular programs including Cluster 3.0, GENECLUSTER, MCLUST, and SSClust. The results show that CurveSOM is a very promising tool for the exploratory analysis of time course expression data, as it is not only able to group genes into clusters with high accuracy but also able to find true time-shifted correlations of expression patterns across clusters.
