MNI – Identify the Gene Targets of a Drug Treatment based on Gene-expression data

MNI

:: DESCRIPTION

The MNI (Mode-of-action by Network Inference ) is an algorithm to identify the gene targets of a drug treatment based on gene-expression data. In a typical use of the algorithm, a single expression profile, say obtained as a result of a treatment under study, is used as the test profile while a set of hundreds of expression profiles is used as the training set. The MNI algorithm uses the large training data set of expression profiles to construct a statistical model of gene-regulatory networks in a cell or tissue. The model describes combinatorial influences of genes on one another.
