Most of them were computationally inefficient in inferring very large networks, though, because of the increasing number of candidate regulatory genes. Although a recent approach called GABNI (genetic algorithm-based Boolean network inference) was presented to resolve this problem using a genetic algorithm, there is room for performance improvement because it employed a limited representation model of regulatory functions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In this regard, we devised a novel genetic algorithm combined with a neural network for the Boolean network inference, where a neural network is used to represent the regulatory function instead of an incomplete Boolean truth table used in the GABNI. In addition, our new method extended the range of the time-step lag parameter value between the regulatory and the target genes for more flexible representation of the regulatory function. Extensive simulations with the gene expression datasets of the artificial and real networks were conducted to compare our method with five well-known existing methods including GABNI. Our proposed method significantly outperformed them in terms of both structural and dynamics accuracy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our method can be a promising tool to infer a large-scale Boolean regulatory network from time-series gene expression data.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The source code is freely available at https:\/\/github.com\/kwon-uou\/NNBNI.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btaa840","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,14]],"date-time":"2020-09-14T11:44:22Z","timestamp":1600083862000},"page":"i762-i769","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["A neuro-evolution approach to infer a Boolean network from time-series gene expressions"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Shohag","family":"Barman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) , Dhaka 1229, Bangladesh"}]},{"given":"Yung-Keun","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of IT Convergence, University of Ulsan , Ulsan 44610, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023062409330293400_btaa840-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"509","DOI":"10.1126\/science.286.5439.509","article-title":"Emergence of scaling in random networks","volume":"286","author":"Barabasi","year":"1999","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2023062409330293400_btaa840-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0171097","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0171097","article-title":"A novel mutual information-based Boolean network inference method from time-series gene expression data","volume":"12","author":"Barman","year":"2017","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"2023062409330293400_btaa840-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"i927","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bty584","article-title":"A Boolean network inference from time-series gene expression data using a genetic algorithm","volume":"34","author":"Barman","year":"2018","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023062409330293400_btaa840-B4","first-page":"418","article-title":"Mutual information relevance networks: functional genomic clustering using pairwise entropy measurements","volume":"5","author":"Butte","year":"2000","journal-title":"Pac.
