Figure 1From: A predictor for predicting Escherichia colitranscriptome and the effects of gene perturbationsConcept in predicting target gene expression value. Target gene expression value can be estimated from a single source gene expression based on linear regression. In this figure, the source probe/gene and target probe/gene are separated by 2 sets of probe/genes and 5 different paths. Expression values of probes/genes adjacent to the source probe/gene [denoted as Probe(x)] can be estimated by linear regression. This can be done repeatedly to reach the target. Target probe/gene expression value can then be statistically inferred.Back to article page
