A major challenge in systems biology is the ability to model complex regulatory interactions, such as gene regulatory networks, and a number of computational approaches have been developed over recent years to address this challenge. This paper reviews a number of these approaches, with a focus on probabilistic graphical models and the integration of diverse data sets, such as gene expression and transcription factor binding site location and activity.
系统生物学中的一个主要挑战是对复杂调控相互作用(如基因调控网络)进行建模的能力,近年来已经开发了许多计算方法来应对这一挑战。本文综述了其中的一些方法,重点关注概率图模型以及多种数据集(如基因表达、转录因子结合位点位置和活性)的整合。
