TopoDoE: a design of experiment strategy for selection and refinement in ensembles of executable gene regulatory networks.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inference of Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) is a difficult and long-standing question in Systems Biology. Numerous approaches have been proposed with the latest methods exploring the richness of single-cell data. One of the current difficulties lies in the fact that many methods of GRN inference do not result in one proposed GRN but in a collection of plausible networks that need to be further refined. In this work, we present a Design of Experiment strategy to use as a second stage after the inference process. It is specifically fitted for identifying the next most informative experiment to perform for deciding between multiple network topologies, in the case where proposed GRNs are executable models. This strategy first performs a topological analysis to reduce the nu
