We address two major challenges for computational gene regulatory network (GRN) inference.
- The first challenge is that the topological structures of gene regulations are context-dependent. Different interactions of gene activities will be active in different experimental conditions (e.g., culture media, temperatures, pH), leading to a different topological structure of the inferred GRNs.
- The second one is that aggregating gene expressions with their regulatory networks to infer new relationships in a supervised learning paradigm.
