Abstract
Reverse engineering of biomolecular regulatory networks such as gene regulatory networks, protein interaction networks, and metabolic networks has received an increasing attention as more high-throughput time-series measurements become available. In spite of various approaches developed from this motivation, it still remains as a challenging subject to develop a new reverse engineering scheme that can effectively uncover the functional interaction structure of a biomolecular network from given time-series expression profiles (TSEPs). We propose a new reverse engineering scheme that makes use of phase portraits constructed by projection of every two TSEPs into respective phase planes. We introduce two measures of a slope index (SI) and a winding index (WI) to quantify the interaction properties embedded in the phase portrait. Based on the SI and WI, we can reconstruct the functional interaction network in a very efficient and systematic way with better inference results compared to previous approaches. By using the SI, we can also estimate the time-lag accompanied with the interaction between molecular components of a networkThis publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
