PloS one 9.11 (2014): e106319.GeneNet is an R package for learning high-dimensional dependency networks from genomic data (e.g. gene association networks). The current version of GeneNet also allows users to assign putative directions to edges in the network.

Biostatistics 9.3 (2008): 432-441.PCA-CMI is a MATLAB program for inferring gene regulatory networks from gene expression data. It is a novel method based on a path consistency algorithm and conditional mutual information, which considers the non-linear dependence and topological structure of GRNs. In this algorithm, the (conditional) dependence between a pair of genes is represented by the CMI between them. With the general hypothesis of Gaussian distribution underlying gene expression data, CMI between a pair of genes is computed by a concise formula involving the covariance matrices of the related gene expression profiles.

"Inferring gene regulatory networks from gene expression data by path consistency algorithm based on conditional mutual information." Bioinformatics 28.1 (2011): 98-104.CMI2NI is a software for inferring gene regulatory networks from gene expression data. It is a novel method using a new proposed concept of Conditional Mutual Inclusive Information (CMI2) which can accurately measure direct dependences between genes. Given the small sample sizes of gene expression data, CMI2NI can not only infer the correct topology of the regulation networks but also accurately quantify the dependence or regulation strength between genes. CMI2NI provides a useful tool to infer gene regulatory networks.
