GNTInfer aims to combine computational analysis of multiple microarray datasets and biological experiment results together for inferring gene regulatory network and further identifying compound targets of perturbation experiments.
TINGe (Tool for Inferring Networks of GEnes) is a parallel and multi-platform framework for reconstructing gene regulatory networks from large gene expression data. It uses parallel processing, information theoretic criteria and statistical testing to derive networks with thousands of genes from microarray sets with thousands of observations. TINGe has been used to reconstruct a whole-genome network of Arabidopsis thaliana from 3,546 microarray measurements, which comprises of 15,495 genes.
GeNA (GEne Networks Analyzer) is a tool that for a given set of “seed” genes uses gene ranking mechanism to extract subnetworks of genes with similar biological function. GeNA uses algorithm akin to the topic-sensitive PageRank and it has been implemented as a stand-alone tool and as a plugin for Cytoscape.
SiGN-SSM is open source gene network estimation software able to run in parallel on PCs and massively parallel supercomputers. The software estimates a state space model (SSM), that is a statistical dynamic model suitable for analyzing short time and/or replicated time series gene expression profiles. SiGN-SSM implements a novel parameter constraint effective to stabilize the estimated models. Also, by using a supercomputer, it is able to determine the gene network structure by the statistical permutation test in a practical time. SiGN-SSM is applicable not only to analyzing temporal regulatory dependencies between genes, but also to extracting the differentially regulated genes from time series expression profiles.
SiGN-L1 is network estimation software using sparse learning. It uses L1-regularization for simultaneous parameter estimation and model selection of statistical graphical models such as graphical Gaussian models and vector autoregressive models.
GFD-Net is a Cytoscape app designed to visualize and analyze the functional dissimilarity of gene networks. GFD-Net can analyze a gene network based on Gene Ontology (GO) and calculate a quantitative measure of its functional dissimilarity, i.e. a quantitative value of the degree of dissimilarity between the connected genes in it.
GeneNetVal is a Java application for network analysis. The application uses the metabolic pathways stored in kegg to rate the validity of an input network.
