Title
Fast and accurate inference of gene regulatory networks through robust precision matrix estimation
Abstract
Motivation: Transcriptional regulation mechanisms allow cells to adapt and respond to external stimuli by altering gene expression. The possible cell transcriptional states are determined by the underlying gene regulatory network (GRN), and reliably inferring such network would be invaluable to understand biological processes and disease progression. Results: In this article, we present a novel method for the inference of GRNs, called PORTIA, which is based on robust precision matrix estimation, and we show that it positively compares with state-of-the-art methods while being orders of magnitude faster. We extensively validated PORTIA using the DREAM and MERLIN+P datasets as benchmarks. In addition, we propose a novel scoring metric that builds on graph-theoretical concepts.
