A Boolean knowledge-based approach to assist reconstruction of gene regulatory model

Understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation in the field of systems biology is a very important issue. With the development of bio-information technology, we can capture large quantities of gene¡¦s expression data from DNA microarray data. In order to discover the relationship of gene regulation, the simulation of gene regulatory networks have been proposed. Among these simulations methods, the S-system model is the most widely used in non-linear differential equations. It can simulate the dynamic behavior of gene regulatory networks and gene expression, but can¡¦t explain the structure and orientation of gene regulatory networks. Therefore, we propose a Boolean knowledge-based approach to assist the S-system modeling of gene regulatory networks.
In this study, we derive the positive and negative regulatory relationships between genes from the regulation of S-system parameters, and use the structure of Boolean networks as our knowledge base. According to the results of the experiment, we can verify our assumptions for the regulation of the S-system parameters, and also has a better understanding of the regulatory relationship between genes.
