Gene Regulation Network

 Information

To predict a gene regulation network to identify similarity among gene expression across different experiments using a R package called BUS. The gene network will be displayed using CytoscapeJS
BUS: Jin Y, Peng H, Wang L, Fronza R, Liu Y and Nardini C (2010). BUS: Gene network reconstruction. R package version 1.28.0.
CytoscapeJS: Shannon P, Markiel A, Ozier O, Baliga NS, Wang JT, Ramage D, Amin N, Schwikowski B, Ideker T. Cytoscape: a software environment for integrated models of biomolecular interaction networks. Genome Research 2003 Nov; 13(11):2498-504

 Network Prediction

  • The BUS package allows computation of two similarities, correlation and mutual information
  • Mutual information is a quantification of dependency between random variables based on the difference between conditional and unconditional entropies. It captures nonlinear dependence.
  • Steps:
    gene.similarity() calculate adjacency matrix using mutual information metric for gene-gene interaction.
    gene.pvalue() calculates p-value for gene-gene interaction. The null hypothesis is that there is no gene-gene interaction.
    pred.network() To predict the gene network, based on the similarity matrix and filtered according to a corrected p-value matrix.

 Instructions

Steps to follow

  • Click on Select experiments and select the experiments to be considered for gene network prediction
  • Below the label Filter by expression value
    - Select the experiment from the dropdown menu
    - Select the operand (less than and equal to or more than and equal to) from the dropdown menu
    - Enter the integer value for the cutoff
  • Step 1: Click on Count to get the count of gene ids that are considered for the network analysis.
    NOTE: Please make sure the number of genes is less than 100.
  • Step 2: Click on Network to generate the network using Cytoscape.
  • Wait for the page to load the gene network
  • Feel free to zoom in, zoom out and move around. Click on the nodes to get gene id and gene description in the box below
