Prediction of tissue-specific cis-regulatory modules using Bayesian networks and regression trees
Background: In vertebrates, a large part of gene transcriptional regulation is operated by cisregulatory modules. These modules are believed to be regulating much of the tissue-sp...

Comparison of probabilistic Boolean network and dynamic Bayesian network approaches for inferring gene regulatory networks
Background: The regulation of gene expression is achieved through gene regulatory networks (GRNs) in which collections of genes interact with one another and other substances in a...
