Description

The Algorithm for the Reconstruction of Accurate Cellular Networks through Adaptive Partitioning (ARACNe-AP) was applied to construct transcriptional interactomes in gene expression profiles from cohorts of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Then the Virtual Inference of Protein Activity by Enriched Regulon (VIPER) algorithm was applied to prioritize master regulator proteins based on the inferred transcriptional activity.

 

Scripts:
    · 1-ARACNe-AP.ps1: PowerShell script for the construct of transcriptional interactomes. 
    · 2-VIPER.R: R script for the identification of master regulator proteins based on the inferred transcriptional activity.

Data:
    · Expression matrix (GSE12452 and GSE102349): Public nasopharyngeal carcinoma datasets, which can be obtained from GEO database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/).
    · Transcription Factors (TFs) list: List of Human transcription factors, which can be obtained from http://humantfs.ccbr.utoronto.ca/download/v_1.01/TF_names_v_1.01.txt
