Test and verify by experiment literatures

To prove our software’s reliability, we search for lots of literatures. It is hard to find an appropriate literature which research the effect of importing an exogenous gene into E.coli K-12. But actually, our software could also simulate the effect of changing endogenous gene by putting the same promoter and gene sequence in.

So, we eventually found four literatures to test and verify our software.


Global Gene Expression Profiling in Escherichia coliK12 THE EFFECTS OF INTEGRATION HOST FACTOR

In this literature, Stuart and his team measure the gene expression profiles in otherwise isogenic integration host factor IHF+ and IHF- strains. And IHF is one of the genes in our genetic regulatory network(GRN).

By importing the IHF’s promoter and gene sequence, we used our software simulating the enhancement of IHF’s expression and compared the result with the gene expression profile in that literature.

There are 30 genes in that profile which are also in our GRN. Here is the list and Genes differentially expressed between E. coli K12 strains IH100 (IHF+) and IH105 (IHF-) with a p value less than 0.0005:

The compare result means that whether the result of our software fit to the result of gene expression profile. After statistic, in these 38 genes, there are 25 genes whose result are same to gNAP’s simulation, 62.8% of the total.

Consistency

The consistency of the program has also been tested. We inserted a gene as same as a gene in the network and compared the regulations predicted by the program with the original regulations. Without filtering the random similarities, the actual regulations were submerged in the network noise.

Figure 1. The green line represents regulating values.
The blue line represents regulated values.

Figure 2.Predicted regulation without filtered.
The actual regulations are submerged by the noise.

With random similarities filtered, all original regulations were picked out. The result shows that the program is consistent with the original network.


Figure 3.The SNR is better.
The actual regulations are picked out.

Summary

In first two literatures, without the limit of oxygen, the average fitness is up to 69.1%. And in the other two literatures, the average fitness is 64.3%. We thought that it may be the oxygen’s limit which affect the expression of each gene. Gene regulatory network analysis has its weakness about environment’s change.

All in all, the total average of fitness is still up to 66.7%. Therefore, we may draw the following conclusion that our software could simulate the impact of new gene to some extent.
