IN SILICO PREDICTION OF HIGH EXPRESSION GENE COMBINATIONS AND OTHER COMBINATIONS OF BIOLOGICAL COMPONENTS

摘要

Various systems and methods for selecting candidate biological components and/or combinations of biological components that affect a biological process are described. For example, a computing device may use a computer model to simulate the biological process and predict a phenotypic outcome. In this manner, the impact of candidate components and combinations may be determined using the computer model. The computing device may determine optimal characteristics such as expression levels of biological components that result in a desirable phenotypic outcome of the biological process as predicted by the computer model. The computing device may perform sensitivity analysis around the optimal characteristics. The sensitivity analysis may be used to determine whether the candidate combinations are robust across a range of the optimal characteristics. The computing device may select various candidate components and combinations based on the sensitivity analysis and the predicted phenotypic outcome.
