Optimal Experimental Design for Gene Regulatory Networks in the Presence of Uncertainty

Roozbeh Dehghannasiri, Byung-Jun Yoon, Edward R. Dougherty
2015 IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology & Bioinformatics  
Based on this prioritization, one can select an optimal experiment with the largest potential to reduce the pertinent uncertainty present in the current network model.  ...  In this work, we utilize the concept of mean objective cost of uncertainty (MOCU) to propose a novel framework for optimal experimental design.  ...  Later, experimental design is utilized in the inference of gene regulatory networks to reduce the entropy of the network model [19] - [22] .  ...

Sequential Experimental Design for Optimal Structural Intervention in Gene Regulatory Networks Based on the Mean Objective Cost of Uncertainty

Mahdi Imani, Roozbeh Dehghannasiri, Ulisses M Braga-Neto, Edward R Dougherty
2018 Cancer Informatics  
A classical approach is to maximally reduce the overall uncertainty in the model, meaning maximal entropy reduction.  ...  Complex models suffer from uncertainty and experiments are needed to reduce this uncertainty.  ...  Since uncertainty can be quantified via entropy, a historical approach to experimental design has been to choose an experiment that maximally reduces entropy (Lindley 1956; Raiffa et al. 1961) .  ...

Rites of passage: requirements and standards for building kinetic models of metabolic phenotypes

Ljubisa Miskovic, Milenko Tokic, Georgios Fengos, Vassily Hatzimanikatis
2015 Current Opinion in Biotechnology  
The overarching ambition of kinetic metabolic modeling is to capture the dynamic behavior of metabolism to such an extent that systems and synthetic biology strategies can reliably be tested in silico.  ...  There is a need to introduce the community-level standards that will organize and accelerate the future developments in this area.  ...  The principal challenges in developing large-scale to genome-scale kinetic models remain the uncertainty and the complexity that increase with the size of the networks.  ...

An experimental design framework for Markovian gene regulatory networks under stationary control policy

Roozbeh Dehghannasiri, Mohammad Shahrokh Esfahani, Edward R. Dougherty
2018 BMC Systems Biology  
In the presence of uncertainty, it is of great practical interest to develop an experimental design strategy and thereby select experiments that optimally reduce a measure of uncertainty.  ...  When the network is uncertain, a Bayesian framework can be applied, where policy optimality is with respect to both the dynamical objective and the uncertainty, as characterized by a prior distribution  ...  Acknowledgments The authors would like to acknowledge Texas A&M High Performance Research Computing for providing computational resources to perform simulations in this paper.  ...
