Abstract Motivation Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) capture the regulatory interactions between genes, resulting from the fundamental biological process of transcription and translation. In some cases, the topology of GRNs is not known, and has to be inferred from gene expression data. Most of the existing GRNs reconstruction algorithms are either applied to time-series data or steady-state data. Although time-series data include more information about the system dynamics, steady-state data imply stability of the underlying regulatory networks. Results In this article, we propose a method for inferring GRNs from time-series and steady-state data jointly. We make use of a non-linear ordinary differential equations framework to model dynamic gene regulation and an importance measurement strategy to infer all putative regulatory links efficiently. The proposed method is evaluated extensively on the artificial DREAM4 dataset and two real gene expression datasets of yeast and Escherichia coli. Based on public benchmark datasets, the proposed method outperforms other popular inference algorithms in terms of overall score. By comparing the performance on the datasets with different scales, the results show that our method still keeps good robustness and accuracy at a low computational complexity. Availability and implementation The proposed method is written in the Python language, and is available at: https://github.com/lab319/GRNs_nonlinear_ODEs Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

We consider the three-dimensional gene regulatory network (GRN in short). This model consists of ordinary differential equations of a special kind, where the nonlinearity is represented by a sigmoidal function and the linear part is present also. The evolution of GRN is described by the solution vector X(t), depending on time. We describe the changes that system undergoes if the entries of the regulatory matrix are perturbed in some way.

The system of two the first order ordinary differential equations arising in the gene regulatory networks theory is studied. The structure of attractors for this system is described for three important behavioral cases: activation, inhibition, mixed activation-inhibition. The geometrical approach combined with the vector field analysis allows treating the problem in full generality. A number of propositions are stated and the proof is geometrical, avoiding complex analytic. Although not all the possible cases are considered, the instructions are given what to do in any particular situation.
