The interaction between proteins and DNA is a key driving force in a significant number of biological processes such as transcriptional regulation, repair, recombination, splicing, and DNA modification. The identification of DNA-binding…
The presence of different transcripts of a gene across samples can be analysed by whole-transcriptome microarrays. Reproducing results from published microarray data represents a challenge due to the vast amounts of data and the large…
DNA microarrays are devices that are able, in principle, to detect and quantify the presence of specific nucleic acid sequences in complex biological mixtures. The measurement consists in detecting fluorescence signals from several spots on…
Despite the success and popularity of oligonucleotide arrays as a high-throughput technique for measuring mRNA expression levels, quantitative calibration studies have until now been limited. The main reason is that suitable data was not…
Affymetrix Genechip microarrays are used widely to determine the simultaneous expression of genes in a given biological paradigm. Probes on the Genechip array are atomic entities which by definition are randomly distributed across the array…
Identification of essential genes is one of the ultimate goals of drug designs. Here we introduce an {\it in silico} method to select essential genes through the microarray assay. We construct a graph of genes, called the gene transcription…
Inferring brain connectivity network and quantifying the significance of interactions between brain regions are of paramount importance in neuroscience. Although there have recently emerged some tests for graph inference based on…
Probe-level microarray data are usually stored in matrices, where the row and column correspond to array and probe, respectively. Scientists routinely summarize each array by a single index as the expression level of each probe set (gene).…
A common problem in bioinformatics is related to identifying gene regulatory regions marked by relatively high frequencies of motifs, or deoxyribonucleic acid sequences that often code for transcription and enhancer proteins. Predicting…
It is well known that correlations in microarray data represent a serious nuisance deteriorating the performance of gene selection procedures. This paper is intended to demonstrate that the correlation structure of microarray data provides…
Our work is motivated by and illustrated with application of association networks in computational biology, specifically in the context of gene/protein regulatory networks. Association networks represent systems of interacting elements,…
Although microarrays are routine analysis tools in biomedical research, they still yield noisy output that often requires experimental confirmation. Many studies have aimed at optimizing probe design and statistical analysis to tackle this…
Machine Learning methods have of late made significant efforts to solving multidisciplinary problems in the field of cancer classification using microarray gene expression data. Feature subset selection methods can play an important role in…
Motivation: Modules in gene coexpression networks (GCN) can be regarded as gene groups with individual relationships. No studies have optimized module detection methods to extract diverse gene groups from GCN, especially for data from…
Transcriptomic data is a treasure-trove in modern molecular biology, as it offers a comprehensive viewpoint into the intricate nuances of gene expression dynamics underlying biological systems. This genetic information must be utilised to…
MOTIVATION: A central goal of postgenomic biology is the elucidation of the regulatory relationships among all cellular constituents that together comprise the 'genetic network' of a cell or microorganism. Experimental manipulation of gene…
In the postgenome era many efforts have been dedicated to systematically elucidate the complex web of interacting genes and proteins. These efforts include experimental and computational methods. Microarray technology offers an opportunity…
Exploring statistics of locally connected subgraph patterns (also known as network motifs) has helped researchers better understand the structure and function of biological and online social networks (OSNs). Nowadays the massive size of…
Motivation: Microarray data has been recently been shown to be efficacious in distinguishing closely related cell types that often appear in the diagnosis of cancer. It is useful to determine the minimum number of genes needed to do such a…
Data-driven analysis of complex networks has been in the focus of research for decades. An important area of research is to study how well real networks can be described with a small selection of metrics, furthermore how well network models…
