Gene Regulatory Network Inference with Latent Force Models

6 Oct 2020  ·  Jacob Moss, Pietro Lió ·

Delays in protein synthesis cause a confounding effect when constructing Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) from RNA-sequencing time-series data. Accurate GRNs can be very insightful when modelling development, disease pathways, and drug side-effects. We present a model which incorporates translation delays by combining mechanistic equations and Bayesian approaches to fit to experimental data. This enables greater biological interpretability, and the use of Gaussian processes enables non-linear expressivity through kernels as well as naturally accounting for biological variation.
