Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to computational methods, systems and apparatus useful in the identification of similarities and/or differences between a plurality of biological states, such as altered biological states in an animal (e.g., a mammal or human). Particularly, the invention relates to comparing two or more causal system models (“CSMs”) which each are indicative of a biological state, such as a disease state, a toxic state, or a drug- or therapy-induced state. The present invention also relates to generating a general CSM from a comparison of two or more other CSMs, and subsequently comparing one or more of the other CSMs to the general CSM. Either of these techniques, or a combination of the two techniques, can be used to identify unique and common features in each CSM.
