Abstract
One or more measurement signatures are derived from a knowledge base of casual biological facts, where a signature is a collection of measured node entities and their expected directions of change with respect to a reference node. The knowledge base may be a directed network of experimentally-observed casual relationships among biological entities and processes, and a reference node represents a perturbation. A degree of activation of a signature is then assessed by scoring one or more “differential” data sets against the signature to compute an amplitude score. The amplitude score quantifies fold-changes of measurements in the signature. In one particular embodiment, the amplitude score is a weighted average of adjusted log-fold changes of measured node entities in the signature, wherein an adjustment applied to the log-fold changes is based on their expected direction of change. In an alternative embodiment, the amplitude score is based on quantity effects.
