Candidate transcription factor:target gene (TF:TG) relationships are assumed more likely if the expression of TF and TG are mutually dependent in at least a subset of the examined experiments. We evaluate this dependency by \u03b72, a non-parametric, non-linear correlation coefficient. It is fast, easy to apply and does not require the discretization of the input data. In the recent DREAM5 blind assessment, the arguably most comprehensive evaluation of inference methods, our approach based on \u03b72 was rated the best performer on real expression compendia. It also performs better than methods tested in other recently published comparative assessments. About half of our predicted novel predictions are true interactions as estimated from qPCR experiments performed for DREAM5.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions: The score \u03b72 has a number of interesting features that enable the efficient detection of gene regulatory interactions. For most experimental setups, it is an interesting alternative to other measures of dependency such as Pearson's correlation or mutual information.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: See http:\/\/www2.bio.ifi.lmu.de\/\u02dckueffner\/anova.tar.gz for code and example data.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0kueffner@bio.ifi.lmu.de<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bts143","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,31]],"date-time":"2012-03-31T00:24:47Z","timestamp":1333153487000},"page":"1376-1382","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["Inferring gene regulatory networks by ANOVA"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Robert","family":"K\u00fcffner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Informatics, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Amalienstr. 17, 80333 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Petri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Informatics, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Amalienstr. 17, 80333 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pegah","family":"Tavakkolkhah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Informatics, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Amalienstr. 17, 80333 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lukas","family":"Windhager","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Informatics, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Amalienstr. 17, 80333 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ralf","family":"Zimmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Informatics, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Amalienstr. 17, 80333 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012512302900600_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"132","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-0509-4-132","article-title":"Inferring the conservative causal core of gene regulatory networks","volume":"4","author":"Altay","year":"2010","journal-title":"BMC Syst.
