MOTIVATION: A central goal of postgenomic biology is the elucidation of the regulatory relationships among all cellular constituents that together comprise the genetic network of a cell or microorganism. Experimental manipulation of gene activity coupled with the assessment of perturbed transcriptome (i. e., global mRNA expression) patterns represents one approach toward this goal, and may provide a backbone into which other measurements can be later integrated. RESULT: We use microarray data on 287 single gene deletion Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strains to elucidate generic relationships among perturbed transcriptomes. Their comparison with a method that preferentially recognizes distinct expression subpatterns allows us to pair those transcriptomes that share localized similarities. Analyses of the resulting transcriptome similarity network identify a continuum hierarchy among the deleted genes, and in the frequency of local similarities that establishes the links among their reorganized transcriptomes. We also find a combinatorial utilization of shared expression subpatterns within individual links, with increasing quantitative similarity among those that connect transcriptome states induced by the deletion of functionally related gene products. This suggests a distinct hierarchical and combinatorial organization of the S. cerevisiae transcriptional activity, and may represent a pattern that is generic to the transcriptional organization of all eukaryotic organisms. AVAILABILITY: Detailed analyses of the comparison method and free software are available from the authors and at http://angel.elte.hu/bioinf
Time-series of high throughput gene sequencing data intended for gene regulatory network (GRN) inference are often short due to the high costs of sampling cell systems. Moreover, experimentalists lack a set of quantitative guidelines that prescribe t
Gene transcription is a stochastic process mostly occurring in bursts. Regulation of transcription arises from the interaction of transcription factors (TFs) with the promoter of the gene. The TFs, such as activators and repressors can interact with
We demonstrate that with appropriate quantum correlation function, a real-space network model can be constructed to study the phase transitions in quantum systems. For the three-dimensional bosonic system, the single-particle density matrix is adopte
The Topological Hypothesis states that phase transitions should be related to changes in the topology of configuration space. The necessity of such changes has already been demonstrated. We characterize exactly the topology of the configuration space
We study the dynamics of networks with coupling delay, from which the connectivity changes over time. The synchronization properties are shown to depend on the interplay of three time scales: the internal time scale of the dynamics, the coupling dela
