Abstract:
This final, brief chapter aims to present a series of analyses described in previous chapters through the discussion of a complex biological problem involving the analysis of genomic data. Unlike the previous chapters, we describe the successive stages of an analysis that aims to combine genomic data of two different types, within the framework of a systems-level approach. The real problem presented is the correlation of gene expression and DNA methylation data on a genome-wide scale in a eukaryotic genome. After initially presenting the application of a series of methodological analyses described in the previous chapters, we will examine ways to model the data for a better interpretation of the phenomenon under study, which is the regulation of transcription by a key epigenetic factor. By the end of this chapter, you should be able to: Design integrative analyses of different types of data to draw conclusions at the systems level. Understand the basic principles of machine learning methods, such as simple classification and regression. Apply machine learning techniques for modeling genomic data.
