Abstract

We propose a probabilistic model for cellular processes, and an algorithm for discovering them from gene expression data. A process is associated with a set of genes that participate in it; unlike clustering techniques, our model allows genes to participate in multiple processes. Each process may be active to a different degree in each experiment. The expression measurement for gene g in array a is a sum, over all processes in which g participates, of the activity levels of these processes in array a. We describe an iterative procedure, based on the EM algorithm, for decomposing the expression matrix into a given number of processes. We present results on Yeast gene expression data, which indicate that our approach identifies real biological processes.
