Reconstruction of TRNs. We have used the Network 1 of Fig. 2 and generated synthetic expression data. Then, we eliminated 50% of the network (randomly), and used FTF to reconstruct the deleted network. Fig. a) shows the percentage of the deleted network recovered as a function of success rate, a measure of the likelihood that an interaction is correct, as estimated from the training set (known interactions). As the number of microarray experiments increases, a higher percentage of the network can be reconstructed. However, full reconstruction requires too many experiments. Fig. b) shows success rate as a function of the absolute value of the linear correlation between the constructed TF activity profiles and gene expression data.
