Abstract Motivation: Clinical diseases are characterized by distinct phenotypes. To identify disease genes is to elucidate the gene–phenotype relationships. Mutations in functionally related genes may result in similar phenotypes. It is reasonable to predict disease-causing genes by integrating phenotypic data and genomic data. Some genetic diseases are genetically or phenotypically similar. They may share the common pathogenetic mechanisms. Identifying the relationship between diseases will facilitate better understanding of the pathogenetic mechanism of diseases. Results: In this article, we constructed a heterogeneous network by connecting the gene network and phenotype network using the phenotype–gene relationship information from the OMIM database. We extended the random walk with restart algorithm to the heterogeneous network. The algorithm prioritizes the genes and phenotypes simultaneously. We use leave-one-out cross-validation to evaluate the ability of finding the gene–phenotype relationship. Results showed improved performance than previous works. We also used the algorithm to disclose hidden disease associations that cannot be found by gene network or phenotype network alone. We identified 18 hidden disease associations, most of which were supported by literature evidence.

Gene network modeling is one of the widely used approaches in systems biology. It allows for the study of complex genetic systems function, including so-called mosaic gene networks, which consist of functionally interacting subnetworks. We conducted a study of a mosaic gene networks modeling method based on integration of models of gene subnetworks by linear control functionals. An automatic modeling of 10,000 synthetic mosaic gene regulatory networks was carried out using computer experiments on gene knockdowns/knockouts. Structural analysis of graphs of generated mosaic gene regulatory networks has revealed that the most important factor for building accurate integrated mathematical models, among those analyzed in the study, is data on expression of genes corresponding to the vertices with high properties of centrality.

Internal States

Gene networks in biological systems are not only nonlinear but also stochastic due to noise corruption. How to accurately estimate the internal states of the noisy gene networks is an attractive issue to researchers. However, the internal states of biological systems are mostly inaccessible by direct measurement. This paper intends to develop a robust extended Kalman filter for state and parameter estimation of a class of gene network systems with uncertain process noises. Quantitative analysis of the estimation performance is conducted and some representative examples are provided for demonstration.

Significant Difference

With the rapid growth of microarray data, it has become a hot topic to reveal complex behaviors and functions of life system by studying the relationships among genes. In the process of reverse network modeling, the relationships with less relevance are generally not considered by determining a threshold when the relationships among genes are mined. However, there are no effective methods to determine the threshold up to now. It is worthwhile to note that the phenotypes of genetic diseases are generally regarded as external representation of the functions of genes. Therefore, two types of phenotype networks are constructed from gene and disease views, respectively, and through comparing these two types of phenotype networks, the threshold of gene network corresponding to a certain disease can be determined when their similarity reaches to maximum. Because the gene network is determined based on the relationships among phenotypes and phenotypes are external representation of the functions of genes, it is considered that relationships in the gene network may show functional relationships among genes in biological system. In this work, the thresholds 0.47 and 0.48 of gene network are determined based on Parkinson disease phenotypes. Furthermore, the validity of these thresholds is verified by the specificity and susceptibility of phenotype networks. Also, through comparing the structural parameters of gene networks for normal and disease stage at different thresholds, significant difference between the two gene networks at threshold 0.47 or 0.48 is found. The significant difference of structural parameters further verifies the efficiency of this method.
