TLDR
Probabilistic Boolean Networks (PBN) are introduced that share the appealing rule-based properties of Boolean networks, but are robust in the face of uncertainty.Abstract:
Motivation: Our goal is to construct a model for genetic regulatory networks such that the model class: (i) incorporates rule-based dependencies between genes; (ii) allows the systematic study of global network dynamics; (iii) is able to cope with uncertainty, both in the data and the model selection; and (iv) permits the quantification of the relative influence and sensitivity of genes in their interactions with other genes. Results: We introduce Probabilistic Boolean Networks (PBN) that share the appealing rule-based properties of Boolean networks, but are robust in the face of uncertainty. We show how the dynamics of these networks can be studied in the probabilistic context of Markov chains, with standard Boolean networks being special cases. Then, we discuss the relationship between PBNs and Bayesian networks—a family of graphical models that explicitly represent probabilistic relationships between variables. We show how probabilistic dependencies between a gene and its parent genes, constituting the basic building blocks of Bayesian networks, can be obtained from PBNs. Finally, we present methods for quantifying the influence of genes on other genes, within the context of PBNs. Examples illustrating the above concepts are presented throughout the paper.read more

Measurement-Induced Boolean Dynamics from Open Quantum Networks
TL;DR: This paper shows that for quantum consensus networks as a type of non-relaxing open quantum network dynamics, the communication classes of the measurement-induced Boolean networks are encoded in the quantum Laplacian of the underlying interaction graph.

Comparing discrete, continuous and hybrid modelling approaches of gene regulatory networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the qualitative approach of PADEs with the Thomas formalism and show that even though the qualitative parameter information of the PADE's is inherent in the Thomas's formalism, the dynamics in both models still yield contrary dynamics.

Bernstein approximations in glasso-based estimation of biological networks
TL;DR: This work implements a particular type of polynomial transformations of the network data in advance of their inference to raise the accuracy and shows that these polynomials are successful in terms of the precision, specificity and F‐measure when the scale‐free networks are modelled via GGM and estimated by glasso.
