dc.description.abstractGene networks allow researchers to understand the underlying mechanisms between diseases and genes while reducing the need for wet lab experiments. Numerous gene network inference (GNI) algorithms have been presented in the literature to infer accurate gene networks. We proposed a hybrid GNI algorithm, k-Strong Inference Algorithm (ksia), to infer more reliable and robust gene networks from omics datasets. To increase reliability, ksia integrates Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) and Spearman rank correlation coefficient (SCC) scores to determine mutual information scores between molecules to increase diversity of relation predictions. To infer a more robust gene network, ksia applies three different elimination steps to remove redundant and spurious relations between genes. The performance of ksia was evaluated on microbe microarrays database in the overlap analysis with other GNI algorithms, namely ARACNE, C3NET, CLR, and MRNET. Ksia inferred less number of relations due to its strict elimination steps. However, ksia generally performed better on Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) gene expression datasets due to F- measure and precision values. The integration of association estimator scores and three elimination stages slightly increases the performance of ksia based gene networks.
