  1. Epistasis Analysis Using Microarrays Chris Workman

  2. Experiments with Microarrays • Cool technology, but how do we use it? How is it useful? • Identify “marker genes” in disease tissues • Classification, diagnostics • Toxicology, stress response • Drug candidate screens, basic science • Genetic factors • Measuring interactions (chIP-on-chip)

  3. Overview • Expression profiling in single-deletions • Epistasis analysis using single- and double-deletions • Epistasis analysis, genetic and environmental factors • Reconstructing pathways that explain the genetic relationships between genes

  4. Expression Profiling in 276 Yeast Single-Gene Deletion Strains(“The Rosetta Compendium”) • Only 19 % of yeast genes are essential in rich media • Giaever, et. al. Nature (2002)

  5. Clustered Rosetta Compendium Data

  6. Gene Deletion Profiles Identify Gene Function and Pathways

  7. Principle of Epistasis Analysis

  8. Experimental Design • Compare single-gene deletions to wild type • Compare to the double knockout to wild type

  9. Experimental Design:Single vs Double-Gene Deletions

  10. Classical Epistasis Analysis Using Microarrays to Determine the Molecular Phenotypes Time series expression (0-24hrs) every 2hrs

  11. Mixing Genetic and Environmental Factors

  12. Expression in Single-Gene Deletions(yeast mec1 and dun1 deletion strains)

  13. Chen-Hsiang Yeang, PhD Craig Mak MIT UCSD UC Santa Cruz Yeang, Jaakkola, Ideker. J Comp Bio (2004) Yeang, Mak, et. al. Genome Res (2005)

  14. “Systems level” understanding Treat disease Synthetic biology In silico cells Measurements Networks

  15. “Systems level” understanding Treat disease Synthetic biology Test & Refine In silico cells Measurements Networks

  16. Displaying deletion effects Published work: “Epistasis analysis using expression profiling” (2005)

  17. Relevant Interactions • Subset of Rosetta compendium used • 28 deletions were TF (red circles) • 355 diff. exp. genes (white boxes) • P < 0.005 • 755 TF-deletion effects (grey squiggles)

  18. Network Measurements • Yeast under normal growth conditions • Promoter binding • ChIP-chip / location analysis Lee, et. al. Science(2002) • Protein-protein interaction • Yeast 2-hybrid Database of Interaction Proteins (DIP) Deane, et. al. Mol Cell Proteomics (2002)

  19. ChIP Measurement of Protein-DNA Interactions (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation)

  20. Step 1: Network connectivity(chIP-chip analysis) ~ 5k genes (white boxes) ~ 20k interactions (green lines)

  21. Step 2: Network annotation(gene expression analysis) Measure variables that are a function of the network (gene expression). Monitor these effects after perturbing the network (TF knockouts). What parts are wired together How and why the parts are wired together the way they are

  22. Inferring regulatory paths = Direct = Indirect

  23. OR Annotate: inducer or repressor

  24. Annotate: inducer or repressor

  25. Computational methods • Problem Statement: • Find regulatory paths consisting of physical interactions that “explain” functional relationship • Method: • A probabilistic inference approach • Yeang, Ideker et. al. J Comp Bio (2004) • To assign annotations • Formalize problem using a factor graph • Solve using max product algorithm • Kschischang. IEEE Trans. Information Theory (2001) • Mathematically similar to Bayesian inference, Markov random fields, belief propagation

  26. Inferred Network Annotations A network with ambiguous annotation

  27. Test & Refine

  28. Which deletion experiments should we do first? • A mutual information based score • For each candidate experiment (gene ) • Variability of predicted expression profiles • Predict profile for each possible set of annotations • More variable = more information from experiment • Reuse network inference algorithm to compute effect of deletion!

  29. Ranking candidate experiments

  30. We target experiments to one region of network Expression for: SOK2, HAP4 , MSN4 , YAP6 

  31. Expression of Msn4 targets Average signed z-score

  32. Expression of Hap4 targets

  33. Yap6 targets are unaffected

  34. Refined Network Model • Caveats • Assumes target genes are correct • Only models linear paths • Combinatorial effects missed • Measurements are for rich media growth

  35. Using this method of choosingthe next experiment • Is it better than other methods? • How many experiments? • Run simulations vs: • Random • Hubs

  36. Simulation results # simulated deletions profiles used to learn a “true” network

  37. Current Work Measurements “Systems level” understanding Treat disease Networks Test & Refine Transcriptional response to DNA damage
