Seminar in Bioinformatics (236818) Ron Y. Pinter Spring 2006
Why? • Really … Advanced Algorithmsin Computational Biology II • Can’t fit everything in one term • Not just sequence alignment, HMMs,and Bayesian networks • Ever evolving and changing needs and ideas • Still, trying to focus on some specific area
What? • PathwayandNetworkAnalysis • Genome Rearrangements • Protein and RNA Structure Prediction • Expression analysis (Zohar Yakhini) • Linkage analysis (Dan Geiger) • Phylogenetic analysis (Shlomo Moran) • Protein-protein Interactions (Golan Yona)
Analysis Paradigms • Static • Integrative Analyses of Interaction Networks Underlying the Cellular Circuitry in Yeast (Yeger-Lotem et al.,PNAS, 2004) • Alignment of Metabolic Pathways (Pinter et al.,Bioinformatics, 2005) • Dynamic • HFPN-based Simulation of the Reduced Folates Metabolic Pathway (Assaraf et al., to appear, JTB 2006) • Faithful Modeling of Transient Behavior in Developmental Pathways (Rubinstein et al., submitted)
Modeling and Analysis Methods • Labeled graphs • Networks – Boolean, discrete, continuous • [Hybrid Functional] Petri Nets (HFPN) • ODEs/PDEs • Various calculi • Flux Balance Analysis (FBA)
Interesting Static Properties • Structural similarity • Label similarity (nodes and edges) • Basic (small) building blocks and how they are composed • …
Quantitative kinetics concentrations expression levels … Qualitative robustness stability convergence oscillation transient expression fail-safety (sensitivity) … Interesting Dynamic Properties
When to use what? • For static analysis • Graph algorithms • Algebraic methods • Statistical tests • For dynamic analysis • Detailed behavior – ODEs • Qualitative behavior – networks • Some specific properties – various calculi
Topics • Static analysis of metabolic pathways • Flux balance analysis of metabolic pathways • Pathway modeling and simulation • Dynamic analysis of small networks • Analysis of genomewide networks • Network motifs: discovery and applications
