Title
Reverse Engineering Non-Linear Gene Regulatory Networks Based on the Bacteriophage λ cI Circuit
Abstract
The ability to measure the transcriptional response of cells has drawn much attention to the underlying transcrip- tional networks. To untangle the network, numerous models with corresponding reverse engineering methods have been applied. In this work, we propose a non-linear model with adjustable degrees of complexity. The corresponding reverse engineering method uses a probabilistic scheme to reduce the reconstruction problem to subnetworks. Adequate models for gene regulatory networks must be anchored on sufficient biological knowledge. Here, the cI auto-inhibition circuit (cI circuit) is used to validate our reverse engineering method. Simulations of the cI circuit are used for the reconstruction, whereas a simplified cI circuit model assists the modeling phase. Several levels of complexity are evaluated, subsequently the reconstructed models show different properties. As a result, we reconstruct an abstract model, capturing the dynamic behavior of the cI circuit to a high degree.
