pGQL – Analyzing Gene Expression Time Courses

pGQL

:: DESCRIPTION

pGQL (probabilistic Graphical Query Language) is a software tool in particular for analyzing gene expression time courses. It allows its user to interactively define linear HMM queries on time course data using rectangular graphical widgets called probabilistic time boxes. The analysis is fully interactive and the graphical display shows the time courses along with the graphical query. The results can be submitted to gPROF directly from pGQL.

MVQueries – Classify Short Gene Expression Time-courses

MVQueries

:: DESCRIPTION

MVQueries is a software of classifying short gene expression time-courses. Short gene expression time-courses monitoring response to toxins are represented as piecewise constant functions, which are modeled as left–right Hidden Markov Models. Our software implements a Bayesian approach to parameter estimation and in inference. Compared to previously published work, we improve prediction accuracy by 7 and 4%, respectively, when classifying toxicology and stress response data and e also reduce running times by at least a factor of 140.

GQL 1.0 – GHMM-based tool for Querying and Clustering Gene-Expression time-course data

GQL 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

GQL (Graphical Query Language) is a suite of tools for analyizing time-course experiments. Currently, it is adapted to gene expression data. The two main tools are GQLQuery, for querying data sets, and GQLCluster, which provides a way for computing groupings based on a number of methods (model-based clustering using HMMs as cluster models and estimation of a mixture of HMMs).

CurveSOM – Curve-based Custering of Time Course Expression data

CurveSOM

:: DESCRIPTION

CurveSOM is a new clustering algorithm of curve-based custering of time course expression data . It first present each gene by a cubic smoothing spline that is fitted to its time course expression data and then group genes into clusters by applying a self-organizing map-based clustering on the resulting splines. CurveSOM is a very promising tool for the exploratory analysis of time course expression data, as it is not only able to group genes into clusters with high accuracy but also able to find true time-shifted correlations of expression patterns between clusters.
