| Abstract | Background Observed levels of gene expression strongly depend on both activity of DNA binding transcription factors (TFs) and chromatin state through different histone modifications (HMs). In order to recover the functional relationship between local chromatin state, TF binding and observed levels of gene expression, regression methods have proven to be useful tools. They have been successfully applied to predict mRNA levels from genome-wide experimental data and they provide insight into context-dependent gene regulatory mechanisms. However, heterogeneity arising from gene-set specific regulatory interactions is often overlooked. Results We show that regression models that predict gene expression by using experimentally derived ChIP-seq profiles of TFs can be significantly improved by mixture modelling. In order to find biologically relevant gene clusters, we employ a Bayesian allocation procedure which allows us to integrate additional biological information such as three-dimensional nuclear organization of chromosomes and gene function. The data integration procedure involves transforming the additional data into gene similarity values. We propose a generic similarity measure that is especially suitable for situations where the additional data are of both continuous and discrete type, and compare its performance with similar measures in the context of mixture modelling. Conclusions We applied the proposed method on a data from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC). We find that including additional data results in mixture components that exhibit biologically meaningful gene clusters, and provides valuable insight into the heterogeneity of the regulatory interactions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
