DISTILLER 2.0
:: DESCRIPTION
DISTILLER (Data Integration System To Identify Links in Expression Regulation) is a data integration framework that searches for transcriptional modules by combining expression data with information on the direct interaction between a regulator and its corresponding target genes. The framework builds upon advanced itemset mining approaches that have been designed to have good scalability, efficient memory use, and a small number of user parameters. It includes a condition selection or bicluster strategy in which co-expression of genes is required in only a significant subset of the complete condition set. By including this condition selection we can apply the algorithm to large expression compendia where interesting genes are not necessarily co-expressed in all measured conditions. Our approach also makes it straightforward to include any number of data sources related to transcriptional interactions such as additional microarrays, ChIP-chip or motif data.
