中文简介:
模拟细胞中转录过程的动力学需要知道许多关键的生物量。虽然其中一些相对容易测量,例如mRNA衰变率和mRNA丰度水平,但仍然很难测量驱动该过程的转录因子蛋白的活性浓度水平以及靶基因对这些浓度的敏感性。在本文中,我们展示了如何从一组已知靶基因的基因表达水平推断出给定转录因子的这些量。我们使用高斯过程先验将蛋白质浓度视为潜在功能,并将敏感性,mRNA衰减率和基线表达水平包括为超参数。我们将此程序应用于人类白血病数据集,重点关注肿瘤抑制因子p53并获得与最近生物学研究完全一致的结果。与Guido Sanguinetti和Magnus Rattray共同合作。
课程简介: Modelling the dynamics of transcriptional processes in the cell requires the knowledge of a number of key biological quantities. While some of them are relatively easy to measure, such as mRNA decay rates and mRNA abundance levels, it is still very hard to measure the active concentration levels of the transcription factor proteins that drive the process and the sensitivity of target genes to these concentrations. In this paper we show how these quantities for a given transcription factor can be inferred from gene expression levels of a set of known target genes. We treat the protein concentration as a latent function with a Gaussian process prior, and include the sensitivities, mRNA decay rates and baseline expression levels as hyperparameters. We apply this procedure to a human leukemia dataset, focusing on the tumour repressor p53 and obtaining results in good accordance with recent biological studies. Joint work with Guido Sanguinetti and Magnus Rattray.
