tigre: Transcription Factor Inference through Gaussian Process Reconstruction of Expression for Bioconductor
Bioinformatics, 27:1026-1027, 2011.
Abstract
**Summary**: tigre is an R/Bioconductor package for inference of transcription
factor activity and ranking candidate target genes from gene expression time series.
The underlying methodology is based on Gaussian process inference on a differential
equation model that allows the use of short, unevenly sampled, time series. The
method has been designed with efficient parallel implementation in mind, and the
package supports parallel operation even without additional software.
**Availability**: The tigre package is included in Bioconductor since release 2.6 for R 2.11. The
package and a user's guide are available at http://www.bioconductor.org.
