Existing GRN inference algorithms face one of two limitations: model-free methods are scalable but suffer from a lack of interpretability and cannot in general be used for out of sample predictions. On the other hand, model-based methods focus on identifying a dynamical model of the system. These are clearly interpretable and can be used for predictions; however, they rely on strong assumptions and are typically very demanding computationally.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Here, we propose a new hybrid approach for GRN inference, called Jump3, exploiting time series of expression data. Jump3 is based on a formal on\/off model of gene expression but uses a non-parametric procedure based on decision trees (called \u2018jump trees\u2019) to reconstruct the GRN topology, allowing the inference of networks of hundreds of genes. We show the good performance of Jump3 on in silico and synthetic networks and applied the approach to identify regulatory interactions activated in the presence of interferon gamma.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: Our MATLAB implementation of Jump3 is available at http:\/\/homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk\/vhuynht\/software.html.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0vhuynht@inf.ed.ac.uk or G.Sanguinetti@ed.ac.uk<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu863","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,9]],"date-time":"2015-01-09T02:26:44Z","timestamp":1420770404000},"page":"1614-1622","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":123,"title":["Combining tree-based and dynamical systems for the inference of gene regulatory networks"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"V\u00e2n Anh","family":"Huynh-Thu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH8 9AB, and 2SynthSys - Systems and Synthetic Biology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JD, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guido","family":"Sanguinetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH8 9AB, and 2SynthSys - Systems and Synthetic Biology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JD, UK"},{"name":"1 School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH8 9AB, and 2SynthSys - Systems and Synthetic Biology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JD, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020115450304600_btu863-B1","volume-title":"Molecular Biology of the Cell","author":"Alberts","year":"2008"},{"key":"2023020115450304600_btu863-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1201\/9781420011432","volume-title":"An Introduction to Systems Biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits","author":"Alon","year":"2006"},{"key":"2023020115450304600_btu863-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"815","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btl003","article-title":"Inference of gene regulatory networks and compound mode of action from time course gene expression profiles","volume":"22","author":"Bansal","year":"2006","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023020115450304600_btu863-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"78","DOI":"10.1038\/msb4100120","article-title":"How to infer gene networks from expression profiles","volume":"3","author":"Bansal","year":"2007","journal-title":"Mol.
