Inference and interrogation of biological networks

Speaker : Mohamed Elati

Inference and interrogation (knowledge extraction) of biological networks, guided by omics-type data, is currently an active research area with many applications in systems and synthetic biology. Machine learning with its wide range of techniques plays a major role, involving the development of ‘case by case’ methodologies. In this presentation, I will present tools for i) inferring gene regulatory networks including their cis-regulatory motifs; ii) estimating the activity of transcription factors and iii) extracting from functional modules. I illustrate my point with examples of ongoing projects in the team.
