Data Fusion Approach for Learning Transcriptional Bayesian Networks

The complexity of gene expression regulation relies on the synergic nature underlying the molecular interplay among its principal actors, transcription factors (TFs). Exerting a spatiotemporal control on their target genes, they define transcriptional programs across the genome, which are strongly perturbed in a disease context. In order to gain a more comprehensive picture of these complex dynamics, a data fusion approach, aimed at performing the integration of heterogeneous -omics data is fundamental.
