A novel computational method for inferring dynamic genetic regulatory trajectories
We present a novel method called Time Series Affinity Propagation (TSAP) for inferring regulatory states and trajectories from time series genomic data. This method builds on the Affinity Propagation method of Frey and Dueck [10]. TSAP incorporates temporal constraints to more accurately model the …
