中文简介:
当建模遗传调节相互作用时,通常认为转录因子的mRNA表达是该转录因子的调节活性的可靠代理。由于转录因子蛋白的转录后和翻译修饰,存在许多这样的假设不成立的例子。由于真正的转录因子活动很难测量,推断它的方法变得越来越普遍,并且在建立调节相互作用模型时,这可能会变得越来越重要。在此之前,我们已经展示了贝叶斯技术,特别是基于马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗的采样,可以使我们能够根据目标的转录水平对转录因子的活性做出推断。然而,在这项工作中,我们只研究了简单的调节相互作用,其中一个转录因子单独作用于一组靶基因。在这项工作中,我们研究将这个模型扩展到多个转录因子协同工作的更一般(和常见)的情况。作为一个示例应用,我们使用来自裂殖酵母细胞周期的小调节网络的数据,其中已知几种转录因子一起产生所需的响应,并且可获得丰富的实验数据。
课程简介: When modeling genetic regulatory interactions, it is often assumed that the mRNA expression of a transcription factor is a reliable proxy for the regulatory activity of that transcription factor. There are many examples where this assumption does not hold due to post-transcriptional and translational modifications of the transcription factor protein. As true transcription factor activity is very difficult to measure, methods to infer it are becoming increasingly common and it is likely that will become increasingly important when building models of regulatory interactions. Previously, we have shown how Bayesian techniques, particularly Markov- Chain Monte-Carlo based sampling, can enable us to make inferences regarding the activity of transcription factors based on the transcript levels of their targets. However, in that work, we only looked at simple regulatory interactions where one transcription factor acted individually on a set of target genes. In this work, we investigate extending this model to the more general (and common) case of multiple transcription factors working together. As an example application, we use data from a small regulatory network from the fission yeast cell cycle in which several transcription factors are known to work together to produce the desired response, and for which plentiful experimental data are available.
