Abstract

In many situations it has been widely recognized that studies based on single-gene differential expression statistical analyses are too simplistic, since they do not consider the complexity of the underlying biological system, mainly based on specific interaction between genes (at a transciptomic, proteomic and metabolomic level). For this reason, novel approaches are sought aiming to exploit networkbased methods, in a Systems Biology perspective, capable of integrating singleprobe measurements with biological information at a whole-genome scale. We describe a method, based on Statistical Mechanics and Network Theory, that goes into this direction, combining what is actually known about gene-gene interactions at a protein level and high-throughput mRNA data obtained in different experimental conditions. We will provide a framework for a phenomenological interpretation of Entropy of a Network Ensemble based on an Information Theory approach.
