Towards a logic-based method to infer provenance-aware molecular networks
Abstract
Providing techniques to automatically infer molecular networks is particularly important to understand complex relationships between biological objects. We present a logic-based method to infer such networks and show how it allows inferring signalling networks from the design of a knowledge base. Provenance of inferred data has been carefully collected, allowing quality evaluation. More precisely, our method (i) takes into account various kinds of biological experiments and their origin; (ii) mimics the scientist's reasoning within a first-order logic setting; (iii) specifies precisely the kind of interaction between the molecules; (iv) provides the user with the provenance of each interaction; (v) automatically builds and draws the inferred network.
