    Item does not contain fulltextMOTIVATION: We propose a reverse engineering scheme to discover genetic regulation from genome-wide transcription data that monitors the dynamic transcriptional response after a change in cellular environment. The interaction network is estimated by solving a linear model using simultaneous shrinking of the least absolute weights and the prediction error. RESULTS: The proposed scheme has been applied to the murine C2C12 cell-line stimulated to undergo osteoblast differentiation. Results show that our method discovers genetic interactions that display significant enrichment of co-citation in literature. More detailed study showed that the inferred network exhibits properties and hypotheses that are consistent with current biological knowledge.
